An 80-year-old widow is battling for life at a government hospital in Malliyakarai, Tamil Nadu, after she was brutally raped by a 41-year-old vegetable vendor in her home on Friday night.
The accused, K Palanisamy was nabbed while trying to flee by the victim's neighbours.
The victim had been living alone in her house since her husband had died and her son and daughter were married. Palanisamy, who has 4 children from 2 wives, was on his way home after delivering vegetables. At 11 pm, a drunken Palanisamy stopped at the victim's house and on finding the door open, asked her for water. When she refused, he forced his way into the house, held her by her throat and raped her, said a police officer. He also allegedly bit her private parts.
"The woman was old and weak. She couldn't free herself from the assailant's grip," the officer said.
After raping her, Palanisamy threatened to kill the woman if she informed anybody and then tried to run away. However, when the victim's neighbours heard her cries, they rushed out of their houses, caught Palanisamy and handed him over to the police. They then rushed the victim to Athur hospital, from where she was shifted to the ICU of Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College Hospital in Salem, where her condition is stated to be critical.
Malliyakarai police booked Palanisamy under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 376 (rape), 448 (punishment for house-trespass), 506 (criminal intimidation) and the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
