If it weren't for the rash of "punishing the victim" stories of late, this story would seem just plain medieval. But with that thoroughly depressing context, I suppose it's just sadly bittersweet - Primitive justice: Father killed for raping daughter -
Manju was raped by her father, Rajvir repeatedly for the last 6 months and even though her mother and brothers knew about it, they were helpless.Sigh....Fed up with this daily abuse, one evening when Rajvir dragged Manju into a room, her mother called her uncles for help.
The mother however, could not have anticipated what happened next. In a bid to protect Manju's honour, the uncles beat Rajvir to death.
...The police have arrested both men on charges of murder and booked them under IPC section 302...In a country where it takes years to solve a rape case and where the rapist often goes scot free, this was an instance where the victim's family took the law into their own hands and meted out what they called justice.
