Delhi shocker: Man sexually assaults 65-year-old mother twice as 'punishment', arrested
PTC News Desk: In a shocking incident, a 39-year-old man sexually assaulted his mother twice, claiming to punish her for an alleged relationship she had in the past.
According to police, the woman, accompanied by her 25-year-old daughter, approached the Hauz Qazi police station and lodged a complaint. The assaults took place shortly after the family returned from a religious trip to Saudi Arabia.
Police said the woman, accompanied by her 25-year-old daughter, went to the Hauz Qazi police station to file a complaint. The alleged assaults happened shortly after the family’s return from a religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.
According to the complaint, the woman lives in Delhi’s Hauz Qazi area with her husband, a retired government employee, her accused son, and her younger daughter. Her elder daughter is married and resides nearby with her in-laws.
On July 17, the complainant, along with her husband and younger daughter, travelled to Saudi Arabia. During their stay, the accused phoned his father, pressuring him to return to Delhi and demanding that he divorce his wife, alleging she had engaged in illicit relationships when he was a child. After the family came back to Delhi on August 1, the accused allegedly confined his mother in a room, forced her to remove her burqa, physically assaulted her, and raped her. He reportedly told her that she had “ruined” him during his childhood.
Following the assault, the woman left home and stayed with her elder daughter. Based on her statement, police registered a case under Section 64 (rape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, arrested the accused, and launched an investigation.
The woman returned home on August 11, but the violence persisted. That night, around 9:30 pm, the accused again locked her in a room under the pretext of wanting a private conversation and claimed he was punishing her for her “past relationships.”
On August 14, at about 3:30 am, he raped her for the second time.
The following day, the woman disclosed the ordeal to her younger daughter, who urged her to approach the authorities. Together, they went to the Hauz Qazi police station and filed a written complaint.
