AHMEDABAD, JUNE 15
A shattered old mother who came to spend a few days with his young son faced the worst horror of her life when she got brutally raped by him. The old woman’s son Shukun Singh, who works as a painter in buildings, suffers from suspected sexual perversion, the family reveals.
Describing the horror to The Indian Express, the 60-year-old lady said, “Woh galat kia hamare saath. Humne use kaha tum hamar ladka ho. Tum aisa mat karo. Hum tumko paida kari hoon lekin usne kuch nahi suna. Who iska parinaam bhugtega. Bhagwaan maaf nahi karega use”.
(He did wrong with me. I told him I am your mother, I gave birth to you. Don’t do this to me but he didn’t hear a word. He will pay for this. God will not leave him)
“On 13th night I was returning from my younger daughter’s house with my him (accused) in an auto rickshaw. When we were passing from an area where there were bushes on either sides and a railway track, he asked me to get down there. When I asked why did he take this unfamiliar road, he started walking into the bushes.
After a few minutes he asked me to come inside the bushes but I questioned him again,” she said
She added, “When I went there, he held my neck tight and threw me on the ground. He tied my face and tore my clothes. He was under influence of some drug or alcohol”.
After a pause the old woman said, “He raped me and ran away from there. I took help of a passer by and rushed to my daughter’s house. After his arrest, he told police that he was drunk and he made a mistake. Is this a mistake”.
The old woman works as an aaya (cleaner) in a municipal school in Jamu village of Kanpur zilla of Uttar Pradesh. She earns Rs. 1000 a month for her living.
Shukun and his three sisters were born in this village and migrated to Gujarat for work almost 20 years back. His three sisters now married and settled in Ahmedabad and Surat had cut of all ties from him when he was 17 years old and he had allegedly committed his first crime.
The man was first arrested in a case of theft twelve years back in Ahmedabad. Two of his sisters have faced sexual assault from him ten years back but their mother didn’t let them complaint against him.
Shukun’s sister said, “When my mother reached home, she was shivering like a leaf. We though she has a got a fit. She would neither drink or eat. After a few minutes, she told me that Shukun raped her. Disgusted with the scar he left on my mother, I decided to complain this time and called police”.
