Hathras, 16

March (HS): A 25-year-old male reportedly raped a 24-year-old widow in this

Uttar Pradesh district, police said Monday. The event occurred in a village

inside the Sikandrarao police station's jurisdiction. When the victim raised an

alert, the accused left the site of the crime, according to authorities. A case

has been filed. According to authorities, the crime happened on Sunday night.

The victim, who had two children, lives with her mother-in-law in the area. Her

mother-in-law had gone to see relatives, so she was at home with her children

when the accused, a married man who lives in front of her house, reportedly

mounted the wall and broke into her home.

According

to a written complaint filed by the victim, after obtaining admission into the

residence, the accused brutally raped her. When she started yelling and

shouting, he departed the scene after warning her to stay silent. Her spouse

perished in an accident around two years ago. JN Asthana, Circle Officer

(Sikandrarao), stated that the investigation is ongoing and that the culprit

would be nabbed shortly.
