Rajasthan: In a shocking incident, a 24-year-old man has been arrested for killing an elderly woman and consuming her flesh in Rajasthan’s Pali.
Police took the accused, suspected to be suffering from hydrophobia, under custody and admitted him to the hospital.
The accused has been identified as Surendra Thakur, a resident of Mumbai. Hydrphobia is a fear of water caused by a late-stage rabies infection that causes people to act irrationally. The doctors said that Surendra had been bitten by a rabid dog in the past and did not get treatment on time.
The police stated that Surendra had arrived in Sendra from Mumbai on a bus, which was confirmed by a bus ticket.
According to police, the incident took place in Saradhana village under Pali district on Friday. The victim, 65-year-old Shanti Devi, had gone to graze her cattle when the accused attacked her with a stone and killed her.
“The accused is behaving like a mentally sick patient and in an aggressive manner. We have admitted him to the hospital, where his medical examination is going on. Even in the hospital, he created a ruckus, after which he was tied up by the nursing staff on a bed,” Jaitaran Deputy Superintendent of Police Sukhram Bishnoi said.
The police stated that Surendra had arrived in Sendra from Mumbai on a bus, which was confirmed by a bus ticket.
The victim’s son, Biren Kathat, then lodged a police complaint accusing the 24-year-old of killing and eating her mother’s flesh.
Thakur has been booked under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code and also charged with cannibalism.
