70-year-old rape accused habitual offender
Dr. Khanna said that the accused appears to be a habitual offender. He had committed such a crime with the girl two months ago as well. Then the victim could not tell anyone anything due to fear. The matter came to light when the girl’s grandmother came to know about the incident on 23 April. Dr. Khanna said that the SSP has been ordered to investigate this matter thoroughly from every aspect. He also expressed concern over the incidents of rape of a minor in Dehradun and rape of a young woman in Nainital.
