Man booked for raping mentally challenged daughter-in-law for 2 years

GURGAON: The Gurgaon police have lodged an FIR against a man who allegedly raped his mentally challenged daughter-in-law for two years. A police team raided his house, located in Laxman Vihar Colony, but the house was found locked. The victim also alleged that her husband and mother-in-law supported her father-in-law when they were told of what was going on.
The complainant, who originally hails from Hisar, was married to Naveen in 2010.The victim's family claimed that they had already informed the groom and his family about the victim's mental illness and Naveen had agreed to marriage with a hefty dowry. Naveen, along with his father, runs a suitcase shop from their home.
"My father-in-law Suresh would come home on the pretext of having tea and would rape me. I informed my mother-in-law but instead of helping me she warned me against revealing it to anyone. Encouraged by this, my father-in-law kept on raping me and even my husband turned a blind eye. My brother came to take me home in December and it was then that I shared my plight with my family," said the victim.
The victim's family had taken the matter to a local panchayat in Hisar and got Suresh to face the panchayat. He reportedly admitted to his folly and promised not to repeat it. He offered to take the victim back to Gurgaon and raped her en route.
The woman allegedly called up her family on Monday to inform them and they in turn reported the matter to the Sector 5 police station.
"Based on the complaint and recommendation of Hisar police, we have lodged an FIR and our teams are on job. We went to the house of the accused in Laxman Vihar but it was locked," said Surinder Pal Singh, DCP (West).
