Kolkata, August 10: A sentence of life imprisonment has been recently handed down by a city court to a 33-year-old man from Haridevpur, who was found guilty of subjecting his own mother to rape on two separate occasions four years ago. The man, known to be a severe drug addict, had undergone rehabilitation programs on seven occasions before 2019. According to the Times of India report, the complaint, lodged on May 5, 2019, was presented by the victim, a 65-year-old woman, at the Haridevpur police station in West Bengal's Kolkata.
She detailed her experience of residing alone with her younger son subsequent to her elder son's marriage and relocation to a secondary property. Narrating the horrifying incidents, she disclosed that her son had assaulted her on April 14, a traumatic ordeal that compelled her silence due to apprehensions regarding societal stigma.

Tragically, her nightmare persisted as her son subjected her to an even more violent assault on May 5. Subsequently apprehended, the accused spent approximately seven-and-a-half months in custody before the court's decision. The sentencing, which includes a life term and a fine of Rs 50,000, was influenced by a comprehensive array of evidence, encompassing the victim's medical assessment, her testimony, and the statements provided by seven additional witnesses. This group included her elder son, the two tenants situated beneath her residence at the time of the incidents, and two medical practitioners—one who examined her and the other who assessed the accused.
