Andra Pradesh murder case: Man flies down from Kuwait, kills daughter’s ‘molester’ | Vijayawada News
TIRUPATI: An enraged father flew down from Kuwait and murdered a man, who allegedly molested his 12-year-old daughter. He released a selfie video from Kuwait on Thursday confessing to the murder.
The alleged killer, who works as a labourer in Kuwait, came down to his native village near Obulavaripalli of Annamayya district in Andhra Pradesh and allegedly stabbed his daughter’s molester with a knife on Dec 7, killing him on the spot. He later flew back to Kuwait.
In the video, the man said that both his wife and he work in Kuwait. They had left their minor daughter with his sister-in-law and her husband. He alleged that while everything was fine in the beginning, his sister-in-law’s father-in-law recently molested his daughter.
“When my daughter resisted, he tried to gag her but somehow she managed to raise an alarm and my wife’s sister rushed to the room and saved her,” the NRI said in the video. Although the family allegedly threatened the girl and tried to hush up the matter, the girl shared her ordeal with her mother during a recent visit.
SI refutes allegation, says girl’s mother did not lodge plaint
“My wife and I first decided not to take the law into our own hands,” he added in the video.
“I asked my wife to go to Obulavaripalli police station and she lodged a complaint. Obulavaripalli police summoned the molester and my wife’s sister and merely reprimanded them without taking action,” he alleged.
“When my wife once again went to the police station and complained about the man and his family, the police did not react and instead threatened to file a case against my wife,” he claimed.
He added in the video that as a father he couldn’t digest what had happened to his daughter. He claimed he wanted to fight legally against the accused, but police inaction forced him to take the law into his hands. In the video he expressed a willingness to surrender.
Obulavaripalli police sub-inspector P Mahesh refuted the allegation and stated that no complaint was lodged by the girl’s mother.
“The girl’s mother and her sister have family disputes,” the officer claimed. “There is a criminal conspiracy behind the murder and apart from the girl’s father, his other family members are also involved in the murder. We will soon bring to light all the facts.”
The SI alleged that the girl’s father was trying to mislead people by releasing the video. “If he intended to surrender, why did he return to Kuwait?” he asked.
