Battered mother with iron rod, confesses lesbian girl to Ghaziabad Police, arrested with partner

Police on Tuesday arrested a 21-year-old woman in Ghaziabad who killed her mother as she objected to her lesbian relationship with her teacher.

On March 9, Rashmi Rana's father Satish Kumar lodged an FIR at Kavi Nagar police station against his daughter and her teacher Nisha Gautama for battering his wife Pushpa Devi with an iron rod which later caused her death.

Police arrested Rana and Gautama from Ghaziabad railway station on Tuesday. During interrogation, Rana confessed that her mother opposed the union and constantly tortured her over it.

"Fed up with the objections, Rana and her teacher killed Pushpa Devi by battering her with an iron rod who died due to serious head injuries," said SP City Akash Tomar.

Devi's husband, Satish, was not in the house during the incident. "The duo has been sent to jail," said Tomar.

According to the report, the woman was allegedly in a relationship with her female teacher and wanted to run away with her. The victim’s husband had filed a complaint against his daughter and her teacher at the Kavi Nagar police station, alleging the same and adding that they wanted to run away together.

The police lodged an FIR under IPC section 304, for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, against the 21-year-old and her 35-year-old teacher.

The victim’s husband said his daughter attacked her mother when both were alone in their residence.
