90-Year-Old Woman Raped And Assaulted By A Plumber In Delhi

A 90-year-old woman was reportedly raped and assaulted in Delhi's Nazafgarh area, according to Delhi Commission for Women (DCW). As per PTI, the accused has been identified as Sonu, a 37-year-old resident from Rewla Khanpur Village,  who works as a plumber in Delhi.

According to a statement issued by DCW the incident happened at 5 pm on Tuesday. While the woman was waiting for her milkman in the evening, "the accused came and told her that her regular milk delivery man wasn’t available today and he will take her to the place where she could get milk. He took the lady to a farm instead and raped her."

अम्मा उस 33 साल के दरिंदे से भीख माँगती रही की उनको छोड़ दे! वो उसके दादी की उमर की हैं। पर हवस के नशे में डूबे हुए उस जानवर ने रेप कर सब हद पार कर दीं!

कैसा समाज है हमारा? इंसानियत मर गयी है जिसके लिए 6 महीने की बेटी और 90 साल की महिला - दोनों ही सिर्फ़ एक वस्तु है। शर्मनाक! https://t.co/wleCn8wBPl
