MUMBAI: A 64-year-old diamond trader was arrested by the Goregaon police late on Monday after his daughter-in-law accused him of rape. The 30-year-old victim claimed he had raped her on several occasions between 2008 and 2013. She summoned the courage to lodge a complaint only after her family members stood by her.
The accused resides at Goregaon (W) and has two sons. The victim is his elder son's wife. The victim told the police that she was unable to conceive after her wedding and sought various medical options, including a test tube baby. According to her complaint, when her father-in-law learnt of the situation, he forced her to have a physical relationship with him to bear children. He also sent his son overseas on work during that time.
The victim, who now has two children, confided in her family recently. They complained to the National Commission for Women (NCW) who wrote a letter to the Goregaon police. An FIR was lodged against the accused on Sunday and he was taken into custody by the police the next day. Officers said he will be produced before a metropolitan court on Tuesday.
While earlier the victim lived in a joint family with her in-laws, she now stays separately with her husband and children.
