Kolkata: A 100-year-old woman was brutally raped allegedly by a 20-year-old youth in the middle of the night in West Bengal's Nadia district, the police said on Wednesday.
"The incident took place on Monday night. Argha Biswas alias Abhijit was caught by the family members of the old woman. A complaint was filed on Tuesday," an officer of the Chakdah police station told IANS.
The culprit from the Gangaprasadpur area has been arrested and has reportedly confessed, saying he committed the crime under the influence of alcohol.
A relative of the victim told News18 that the family found the victim covered in blood and caught the accused who hid under the bed when the woman raised an alarm.
The proceedings are going on and the centenarian has been released from the hospital after the required medical tests.
Additional Superintendent of Police, Kalyani (Nadia District), Azhar A Tousif, told News18 that the woman’s age is yet to be ascertained while adding that the youth had confessed to committing the crime. “We don’t have any document which will ascertain that the victim’s age is 100. His family members are claiming that she is 100 years old and she was raped by a local youth. The youth confessed that he raped her. We are still waiting for the medical report. Everything is subject to investigation,” he said.
The case comes two days after a woman was raped and an iron rod inserted in her private parts allegedly by a relative angry over a land dispute in Jalpaiguri district.
2. Niece breaks out silence after 10 years, uncles arrested for raping her for over ten years
In a shocking case that has come to light from Porvorim in Goa, police on Wednesday arrested two middle-aged men for allegedly raping their neice repeatedly since she was a teenager. The accused, both in their forties were booked after the survivor, now 23-years-old gathered the courage to break her silence and report her uncles for their misdeeds.
An inspector with the Porvorim police, Paresh Naik told news agency PTI that the woman lives with a joint family in Verem village. In a complaint she gave to the police, the survivor has alleged that her uncles had been raping her since she was 13-years-old and this abuse had been going on until recently. She decided to break her silence and bring the culprits to justice, said an officer familiar with the investigation.
Based on a complaint by the survivor, police have arrested the two accused under sections 376 and 355 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) which correspond to allegations of rape and assault or criminal force with the intention of dishonouring a person. In addition, they have also been booked under relevant sections of the Goa Children's Act. Meanwhile, an investigation into the matter is currently underway.
In 2017, a fast-track court in Delhi sentenced two men to life in prison for raping their 10-year-old niece. The matter had come to light after the girl complained of stomach ache and medical examinations revealed that she was pregnant. While the trail of the older brother took about 30 days, the younger brother was sentenced following a record 18-day trial.
