BOKARO: A woman killed her father-in-law after he attempted to rape her, the third in a row, saying that she felt Goddess Durga had come on her to kill the Mahishasur. Puja Devi then hid the body of Nandji Singh in the kitchen at P&T Colony of Sector-V here and fled to her parents in Bihar from where she informed her husband.
"This was the third time when the father-in-law, a teacher, attempted to rape me," the 30-year-old told police. The incident that took place on Friday afternoon has sent shock waves among the residents of the town.
On Sunday, Puja, the mother of two, returned with her father Baban Kumar from Dehri-on-Son in Bihar and informed police about the incident following which cops recovered the body.
DSP (city) Anil Shanker said the body packed in a sack was found in a decomposed state from the kitchen. The knife which was used was also recovered from the window roof, where Puja had thrown it. "The body was so decomposed that it is difficult to identify the injuries. It can only be detected in postmortem," he said.
Puja and Rajnish Ranjan Rajeev, who is unemployed, got married about eight years ago. They have two children. At the time of incident, her three-year-old son had gone to school, while eight-month-old baby was at home. Puja told the DSP that she and her husband used to reside at their native place in Ara of Bihar till two months ago. Rajnish's mother also lives in Ara. While Singh, who was the teacher in a government school, lived in a rented house here.
The accused said she did not want to live with her father-in-law as earlier also he had tried to rape her finding her alone in the house, but she managed to escape every time. She had told her husband about the bad intention of his father. As Singh apologized, they returned. Recalling the incident, she said, "On Thursday, my father-in-law had sent my husband to their native place for some work related to farmland. I was here with my two children. On Friday, finding me alone at home, he attempted to rape me. Finding no option, I picked up the knife from the kitchen and stabbed him several times."
The woman said she did not remember how much times she had stabbed her father-in-law. "I was mad with anger and felt Goddess Durga is on me and I have to kill this Mahishasur. He had torn my blouse and sari and thrashed me also," said Puja.
The DSP said there were injury marks on Puja's face but it was yet to be ascertained that whether she had killed Singh alone or there were someone along with her. An FIR has been lodged in this connection.Link: Woman kills father-in-law after third rape attempt
