NEW DELHI, India — A father in India is accused of torturing and then murdering his 14-year-old daughter’s alleged rapist.
The Indian Express reports that the 36-year-old father invited his daughter’s alleged rapist over for dinner. That’s when the man is accused of using heated tongs to burn the alleged perpetrator’s genitals before strangling the man to death.
The website said that the father wanted revenge for his underage daughter’s alleged rape by the 45-year-old married man.
“He served him dinner,” an officer told the Indian Express. “After the meal, the father overpowered the man and tied him to a chair. He got heated tongs and burned the supplier’s genitals before strangling him to death. He came to the police station and surrendered himself.”
The alleged rapist is suspected as being one of two people who raped the victim when she was home alone a few months ago.
The rapist allegedly told his victim not to tell anyone, but she reportedly told her father the same day.
The father, who will face murder charges, admitted to the killing and told investigators he had been planning out what he would do since he learned about his daughter’s rape.
