Dad Invites Daughter’s Rapist to Dinner, Tortures and Kills Him

Furious over the rape of his 14-year-old daughter by a 45-year-old married man in Northeast Delhi, India, the girl’s father invited the rapist to his house, treated him to a nice dinner and tortured him with heated tongs applied to his testicles, and then strangled him to death, police said. The father then went to the police station, surrendered himself and gave police a detailed account.

Police said the dead man, a medicine supplier, had raped the man’s minor daughter two months ago after coming to the family home and finding the girl alone. He threatened the girl with dire consequences if she spoke about the incident to anyone. She, however, told her father about it the same day. The father did not approach police fearing “a bad name for his daughter.” The father soon discovered that his child had become pregnant because of the rape.

The father called the medicine supplier over to his house at the right time, saying he wanted to discuss business. After the meal, the father overpowered the man and tied him to a chair. He got heated tongs and burned the supplier’s genitals before strangling him to death. “I burned his genitals once, he screamed. I did it again, he shuddered. When I did it the third time, he did not move,” said the dad.

Police said the father had been planning the murder since the day he found out about his daughter’s alleged rape. He further told police that he used to get furious whenever he saw the man happy with his family while his daughter was suffering. “She stopped smiling. She stopped eating properly or going out with her friends,” the mother said.

Police arrested the aggrieved father for murder. The disposition of the case is ongoing.
