Delhi Police have arrested a 39-year-old man for allegedly raping his 65-year-old mother twice, claiming he was “punishing” her for past relationships. The complaint was filed at Hauz Qazi police station by the woman, who was accompanied by her younger daughter.
According to police, the family — including the woman, her husband, and daughter — had recently returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia. During the journey, the accused had allegedly demanded that his father divorce his mother, accusing her of having “illicit relationships” in the past.
On August 1, shortly after their return, the accused allegedly confined his mother to a room, assaulted her physically, and forced her to remove her burqa. The woman later sought shelter at her elder daughter’s home but returned to Hauz Qazi on August 11. That evening, the accused again locked her inside a room and raped her, saying it was “punishment” for her past.
Police said a second incident took place on August 14 around 3:30 am, when he raped her again. The following day, the survivor disclosed the assaults to her younger daughter, who encouraged her to approach authorities.
A case under Section 64 (rape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has been registered. The accused has been taken into custody, and further investigation is underway.
