According to the victim’s granddaughter, she went to check on her grandmother after hearing some strange noises. “When I looked through the window, I was shocked to see [the youth] raping my grandmother. I immediately called the neighbours to bring him out. We have filed a police complaint,” she said.

“We recently heard about septuagenarians being raped,” Ranjit Sur, the vice-president of the Association for Protection of Democratic Rights,” told the Hindustan Times. “But that a 100-year-old can be a victim of such crimes is unheard of.” Sur was likely referring to an incident in Chatri village of East Midnapore district, where three men allegedly raped a 70-year-old woman in July.

The culprit is from the Gangaprasadpur area. The proceedings are going on and the woman has been released from the hospital after the required medical tests.
