In a shocking incident from Jharkhand, a 50-year-old woman, the mother of a rape survivor, was hacked to death by three men on Sunday. The woman had accused the sons of two of her attackers of raping her 19-year-old deaf-mute daughter. Police arrested the three men on Monday. The accused, the woman and her daughter live in the same village, Gumla.
According to a TOI report, the mother of the rape victim was working in the field when she was attacked by the fathers of the two minor boys accused of raping her daughter. Among the attackers was a family member who had a long-standing dispute with her, police claimed. The two minor boys are currently in an observation home.
“The motive appears to be revenge for the police action initiated against the sons and the land dispute with the victim,” the local police station in charge said, adding that the weapon used in the murder has been recovered.
According to an investigating officer, on March 13, the woman and her daughter were asleep and her elder daughter had gone to a wedding function, locking the house from outside.
Two 14-year-old boys, the sons of the two of the accused who killed the woman, allegedly broke the lock and told her to go check on her elder daughter “as she was up to something indecent” at the function.
After the woman left, the boys dragged the deaf-mute girl to a school building and raped her, the officer claimed.
