Police: Father invites daughter's alleged rapist to dinner, tortures him to death
2014-11-04
[FOXNEWS] A father in India is facing murder charges after he invited his daughter's alleged rapist to dinner and then tortured and killed the man, authorities say.
"Have some more gnocci!"
"Aaaiiieee!"

The 36-year-old father, who has not been identified, reportedly burned the 45-year-old man's genitals with heated tongs and strangled him Friday, The Indian Express reported. The incident occurred in Delhi's Khajuri Khas area.

#10  Just hope the daughter wasn't lying to cover up for her boyfriend or something. That would be horrific.

#8  I'm thinking the fact that the father was willing to throw his own life away is pretty telling.

#7  Not in India. Don't try and apply American standards to a third world country. In India you are guilty until you prove your innocence.

AFAIK and India's legal code is based on the British one so it is "innocent until proven guilty". I agree that notion could be largely theorical in rural India. But I was noyt talking to this man but to Rob Crawford an American who knows about "innocent until proven guilty" and about pregnant girls in aresa whre being pregnat out of wedlock can get you cast away or even being killed telling they have been raped.

Angry Dad nipping on your nose,
You'll try running for the water hose,
Raping his daughter has put you in these throws,
Where you end up only God knows.

Not in India. Don't try and apply American standards to a third world country. In India you are guilty until you prove your innocence.

Having said that, all the father/daughter had to do was file a molestation case against the perp, he would have been arrested and his life turned inside out. And court cases in India can drag on for years.

#4  Khajuri Khas is a VERY BAD neighborhood in terms of crime. Drug/human trafficking, prostitution, rape, murder, robbery...you name it.

#2  Rob. He was innocent until proven guilty. Then it is OK for me, but only then.
