A furious father in India reportedly invited his 14-year-old daughter’s alleged rapist over for dinner, then painfully tortured him to death after he ate.
The 45-year-old married man thought nothing of the kind dinner invite extended to him by his neighbor. But he didn’t bank on what was to come following the Friday night meal in the Khajuri Khas area in the Northeast of Delhi.
Following the reportedly gruesome murder, which the angry father carried out following the meal he had cooked, he went to the local police station and turned himself in, offering the police a detailed account of how he had tortured his dinner guest.
The father, who apparently burned the man’s genitals with heated tongs before strangling him slowly to death, told police that his ill-fated dinner guest, a medicine supplier, raped his 14-year-old daughter two months ago, but he didn’t tell the police due to not wanting a bad name for his daughter in the community.
A police officer who dealt with the incident spoke to India Express .
“The father called the medicine supplier over to his house saying he wanted to discuss some issue. He served him dinner. 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. He came to the police station and surrendered himself.”
The officer continued, “Based on his statement, we sent a team to the spot and recovered the body. It has been sent for a post-mortem examination and his family has been informed. A case of murder has been registered and the 36-year-old man was arrested.”
The suspect of the murder also told police that around two months ago, while he was away on business, the man knocked at his door looking for him, When he realised that his friend wasn’t home but that his young daughter was home alone, he allegedly raped her .
