'Alcoholic' Son Rapes Mother While Pregnant Wife Was Away, Traumatized Victim Suffers Critical Injuries

A 58-year-old Indian mother has been hospitalized after she was mercilessly raped by her own son. The suspect, a 36-year-old daily wage worker from the Kedambadi village in the state of Karnataka, was arrested after doctors treating the victim called in reporting the sexual assault.

The dreadful incident reportedly happened during the wee hours on Jan. 12. In her complaint to the police, the mother said she was asleep in her room when at around 3 a.m. local time, her ‘alcoholic’ son barged in and attacked her. The man threatened to kill his mother if she refused to comply with his heinous demand, the complaint said.

However, it did not end there. In the morning, the mother was in the kitchen when the accused son violently dragged her out to the hall and raped her again, as per the complaint filed by the victim.

Doctors said the victim, who hasn’t recovered from the trauma, suffered serious injuries from the assault and will remain under observation until her condition is stable.

According to local media reports, the accused is a married man whose pregnant wife was visiting her parents' home when the horrifying episode unfolded.

The accused currently remains in judicial custody as the investigation proceeds.

Another incident was reported from the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu, where two minor sisters hacked a 70-year-old relative to death when he allegedly tried to rape their mother.

The girls, aged 15 and 17, stuffed the old man's body in a sack and dumped it in a well. The man was identified as the husband of their paternal aunt.

The sisters later told the police that they were playing outside their home when they noticed the man walking into their home.

When they went inside to check on their mother they saw the old man trying to assault her sexually. The girls said they tried to stop him but he refused to budge, following which they killed him with a sickle, the police were quoted as saying.
