Nadia district, West Bengal, eastern India.
Speaking after the
incident, the woman’s granddaughter, who wished to remain anonymous, said:
‘I heard some strange
noises.
When I looked through the
window, I immediately called others to help when I saw my grandmother.’
The suspect, Biswas told
reporters that he was ‘under the influence of alcohol and did not know what I
was doing,’ when questioned about the accused crime.

police officer, said:
‘She was sleeping alone in
her home. The house wasn’t locked as the village culture.

the man when she cried for help.

woman.’
