Delhi Horror: In a highly disturbing incident, a man has been arrested for allegedly raping his elderly mother in Delhi’s Hauz Qazi. The 39-year-old son raped his 65-year old mother on two separate occasions. As per the woman’s complaint at Hauz Qazi police station on Friday, the son was “punishing” her over suspicion that she had extramarital affairs.

As per the woman, the assault took place earlier this month after the family returned from a religious pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.

The woman lives with her husband, who is a retired government employee, a 25-year-old daughter and the accused son. The family has another daughter who is married and lives nearby. All of them live in the Hauz Qazi area.

On July 17, the woman, her husband, and younger daughter travelled to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage. After a few days, the accused called up his father, asking the family to come back to India.

“He said that we should come to Delhi because he wanted my husband to divorce me, claiming he had discovered that I had extramarital relationships with other men when he was a child, before his younger sister was born, and when my husband used to travel for work,” the woman stated in her complaint, according to a Hindustan Times report. The son made more calls over the following week.

The family returned to Delhi on August 1 after multiple calls by the accused son. “He made me remove my burqa, locked me in a room and beat me up. He told my husband that he had spoiled me,” the victim told police.

At 9:30 pm on August 11, the son took the mother to a room on the pretext of having a conversation privately and allegedly raped her.

“He locked her in the room and raped her. He said that he was punishing her for her previous conduct even as she pleaded that she was his mother,” the officer said, as per HT.
