Man Threatens To Hang Himself If Not Allowed To Have Sex With Minor Daughter, Killed By Family

A 40-year-old man was killed by his wife and two children after he tried to rape his minor daughter. The incident took place in the Indian state of Punjab.

On Saturday (May 23) night, the 40-year-old man, whose identity was not revealed, came home drunk and allegedly tried to rape his 15-year-old daughter. The father threatened the family that he will hang himself with a cable wire if they did not let him have sex with his daughter.

The man’s wife, along with her 20-year-old son and the minor daughter, strangled him to death using the same cable wire.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Gurbinder Singh told local media, “While the stepson held the man’s hands, the woman and her daughter strangled him using a piece of wire. He was drunk and had a fight with his wife after returning home. According to his wife, he first thrashed her and then tried to rape the minor girl. Two days back also, he had thrashed his wife and hit her in head. He was an acute drinker.”

The couple had three children, the 15-year old daughter, and two minor sons. The woman has a 20-year-old son in her first marriage. She also had a daughter in the first marriage who killed herself after her stepfather was bailed out for raping her. In 2014, the man raped his stepdaughter.

“He had spent six months in jail. Later family reached a compromise and got him out of jail but the girl committed suicide after he was released from jail. Her reason of suicide is still a matter of probe,” said the ACP.

According to sources, a few years ago, the accused had also raped his wife’s sister. No complaint was lodged in this regard.

The woman and her two children were arrested on murder charges. The body was sent to the civil hospital for autopsy.

“Autopsy of the body is pending. Trio has confessed to killing the man,” the officer said.

The girl is an eighth-grade student. Her two younger brothers were present in the house when the slaying occurred. They were later sent to a relative’s place.
