Nagpur, May 3: In an outrageous incident, a drunk man allegedly raped his 65-year-old mother-in-law. The victim, who is a TB patient, filed a complaint with the Koradi police accusing Ramesh Gawhane of committing the heinous act.
A father of three, 46-year-old Gawhane, is absconding. Gawhane's daughter got married a year ago. His two sons are studying in ninth and seventh standard respectively. The matter was reported to Koradi police station by the victim's daughter on Tuesday night.
The incident took place on Monday night while Gawhane's wife had gone to drop her daughter at her in-laws residence in Katol. The victim said Gawhane returned home heavily drunk at around 11pm.
Gawhane was a nuisance in his area, says investigating cop
Koradi police are looking for Ramesh Gawhane who alleged raped his mother-in-law in an inebriated state on Monday. Gawhane first ruthlessly thrashed his sons and asked them to leave the house. The victim was asleep when Gawhane gagged her and forced himself on her. Police said the boys slept out of the house the whole night.
The victim, who was unable to move, narrated her horrifying plight to a woman from her neighbourhood when she came to meet her on Tuesday morning. "The blood stains on the victim's sari caused her neighbour to suspect something was wrong. The victim broke down and narrated the horrific incident to her. The neighbour immediately alerted Koradi police and the woman's daughter," said investigating officer PSI PV Fade.
Fade added that Gawhane's wife and neighbours claimed that the accused had become a nuisance in their area. He would abuse and stare lecherously any woman of the area. But as Gawhane's wife was helpful towards others, no one had lodged any complaint against him so far.
The victim was admitted to Indira Gandhi Government Medical College and Hospital for 15 days. Just a week ago she shifted to her daughter's residence near Godhni railway station.
"The victim's family was not able to afford the rising hospital fee and hence brought her home. The doctors asked her to come for check-up once a week. Therefore, the victim's daughter insisted that she stay with her till her treatment," said Fade.
Koradi police rushed the victim to IGGMCH. Cops registered a case after the medical examination.
In another incident, a 17-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her lover on false promise of marriage. The victim, a labourer at a construction site, lodged a complaint against 24-year-old Sanjay Nehare, a driver at Wadi police station.
According to the police, Nehare proposed the girl in front of her parents six months ago and assured them to marry her. However, two days before when the girl's parents asked Nehare about his marriage plans, he refused. The girl with her parents approached the police. Nehare has been reported absconding.
