The victim's son, the complainant, reported the crime to the police, leading to the man's arrest. During the trial, the woman recounted the traumatic experience, stating that her son gagged her, raped her, and threatened to kill her if she spoke out. The woman's husband had died 10 years back.
"This rape case was registered about one-and-a-half years back. A woman accused her son of rape. Police had registered an FIR under relevant sections. The accused's brother was the complainant. A fast-track court has sentenced the convict to life imprisonment and fined him Rs 51,000," Rohit Mishra, Bulandshahr rural police chief, said.
"I folded my hands and pleaded with him, but he raped me. I kept saying I was an old woman. I lost consciousness. When I regained it, he threatened to kill me if I told anyone about the incident. He also asked me to sleep with him every night. Somehow I came home and told my niece and son (the complainant)," the court order quoted the mother.
Although the medical examination found no physical evidence of injury, the court ruled that the absence of physical trauma does not discredit the victim's testimony.
Despite the accused claiming innocence and alleging a property dispute, the fast-track court found him guilty of rape and criminal intimidation. The court noted that no mother would falsely accuse her son of rape for material gain.
