Bhopal, Nov 19: A father and four other family members were arrested for allegedly murdering their alcoholic son earlier this week. The incident was reported from Datia in central Madhya Pradesh where the unsettling details of the case have left the police officials gobsmacked.
The body of the man murdered was found near Gopaldas hills. The interrogation revealed that the family killed the alcoholic son because he used to rape his mother, sister and sister-in-law regularly while inebriated.
The father of the alleged rapist confessed to the police that his alcoholic son tried to rape his sister-in-law on the night of November 11, after coming home drunk. The constant assault on the family forced the father and other family members to strangulate the man to death.
Sub Divisional Officer of Datia Police claimed that the body of the deceased was discovered on November 12. The post mortem revealed that the father's statement did corroborate with the report.
Following their arrest, the family members were presented in front of a magistrate to be remanded to judicial custody. In his confession, the deceased’s father reiterated that it was he who strangulated his son. He declared that his actions were triggered due to the repeated torture inflicted on his wife, daughter and daughter-in-law over some time.
The gruesome incident brings forth the plight of the family which suffered at the hands of an alcoholic monster who sexually abused his kin. The frustrated family took the law in its own hands and murdered the alleged rapist instead of taking him to the police while the same should have been reported to the authorities at the first instance when he had tried to ravage the modesty of the women in his house.
