Mother, 70, who killed girl’s ‘rapist’ gets life

A 70-year-old widow was awarded life imprisonment 11 years after “killing” the man who allegedly tried to rape her daughter. The judgment passed by Bulandshahr’s additional sessions court’s judge Rajeshwar Shukla, which was delivered on October 14, a day before Dussehra, said that the woman “didn’t have to hit the deceased multiple times with an axe to stop the rape bid as even small force could have been deployed”. It concluded that the act was “honour killing” and a “planned murder.”
