Grandad killed in rape resist

KOUSIK SEN, TT, Sep 13, 2018, Raiganj: An 80-year-old man was hacked to death when he purportedly tried to stop a youth from raping his granddaughter at their house in North Dinajpur's Karandighi on Tuesday night.

The youth also attacked the girl, her grandmother and a child of the family with a dagger. They were admitted to super-speciality hospital in Raiganj.

Police said Ali Shah, who had killed the octogenarian at Gardankata village, had fled.

A relative of the girl said Shah had been teasing her for a few weeks.

"Around 10am yesterday (Tuesday), he forcibly entered her room and tried to rape her. As she raised the alarm, family members rushed for help. Shah was carrying a dagger and attacked all those who came to save her. We have filed a police complaint against Shah who ran away," he said.

The family members said the grandfather was the first to resist the rape and Shah had hacked his throat with the dagger.

The neighbours rushed in hearing the screams and took the injured to the rural hospital in Karandighi where doctors pronounced the grandfather dead. The other three were later shifted to the super-speciality hospital.
