In a horrific and disheartening incident, a 90-year-old woman was raped and assaulted in the Najafgarh area of Chhawla in the national capital, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) said on Tuesday. He also tweeted that the defendant has been arrested and an FIR registered.
The incident took place on the evening of September 7. The defendant has been identified as Sonu, 33, a resident of the Rewla Khanpur area of Delhi.
The nonagenarian was forcibly taken from her home and brutally raped, said Swati Maliwal, head of DCW. She has suffered many injuries, Maliwal added. When the head of DCW met the older woman, she was crying and asked that the victim be hanged. Maliwal stated that the old woman begged the 33-year-old woman to leave her because she is like her grandmother.
अम्मा उस 33 साल के दरिंदे से भीख माँगती रही की उनको छोड़ दे! वो उसके दादी की उमर की हैं। पर हवस के नशे में डूबे हुए उस जानवर ने रेप कर सब हद पार कर दीं!
कैसा समाज है हमारा? इंसानियत मर गयी है जिसके लिए 6 महीने की बेटी और 90 साल की महिला – दोनों ही सिर्फ़ एक वस्तु है। शर्मनाक! https://t.co/wleCn8wBPl
