NEW DELHI: A 28-year-old man has been charged with raping his 78-year-old grandmother at Jaffarpur in south-west Delhi on Tuesday night. The incident came to light when neighbours found the victim crying outside her house early on Wednesday morning.
After the victim narrated her plight, the neighbours informed the police. The accused, a daily wage labourer, was reportedly drunk at the time of the incident.
"We received a call around 7 am and rushed to the victim’s residence where we found the accused sleeping. We arrested him and took the victim for medical tests to Rao Tula Ram Hospital," said an official from Jaffarpur police station. He added that the MLC report confirmed rape and the accused was booked for the same.
The accused married three years ago and is the father of an infant daughter. Reportedly, his wife left him two weeks ago following some dispute.
Incidentally, the accused had been brought up by his grandmother and not his parents. "It is the most disgusting and disturbing incident. The victim is in a state of shock. We have informed the victim’s son about the incident," said a police official.
