A 75-year-old man was beaten to death with a cricket bat by his 20-year-old granddaughter in Indore who went to his house in the early hours of Sunday and attacked him.
She later told the police that her grandfather sexually abused her when she was a child.
The grandmother raised an alarm and neighbours rushed in. At the time, she alleged, her grandfather, a retired trooper of the Madhya Pradesh’s Special Armed Force, would grope her and touch her inappropriately. When she complained to her parents at that time, they moved out and started staying separately.
Ashok Singh Jadon, additional commissioner of police, said an argument with her parents over returning home late triggered the college student’s childhood trauma and she decided to avenge the abuse. The injured man was taken to Aurobindo hospital, where he died during treatment, police said. During her interrogation, she told the police that she lived with her grandparents along with her parents as a young girl.
