In a shocking incident, an 86-year-old woman was raped by a 33-year-old man in the Chhawla village area of Delhi. The accused was in an inebriated state when he raped the elderly victim.

The police said that the incident took place when the elderly woman was talking from one village to another in the area. The accused offered her a lift after which he took her to a secluded area and raped her. The accused is a resident of Rewla Khanpur locality in the national capital.

When passers-by heard the elderly woman's screams, they came to her rescue and caught the accused red-handed. The police were then informed and he was handed over to the cops.

A case was registered against the accused under Sections 376 and 363 of the Indian Penal Code.

Taking to the micro-blogging site, Twitter, the DCW said, "90 year old woman raped and assaulted in Delhi's Chhawla, Najafgarh area. DCW Chief Swati Maliwal met the lady today. Accused has been arrested, FIR registered." When the Maliwal met the older woman, she was in tears and asked that the victim be hanged. Maliwal stated that the old woman begged the 33-year-old to leave her as she is like her grandmother.

अम्मा उस 33 साल के दरिंदे से भीख माँगती रही की उनको छोड़ दे! वो उसके दादी की उमर की हैं। पर हवस के नशे में डूबे हुए उस जानवर ने रेप कर सब हद पार कर दीं!

कैसा समाज है हमारा? इंसानियत मर गयी है जिसके लिए 6 महीने की बेटी और 90 साल की महिला - दोनों ही सिर्फ़ एक वस्तु है। शर्मनाक! https://t.co/wleCn8wBPl
