An 88-year-old man committed suicide after being accused of raping a minor

Indian police said yesterday that an 88-year-old man committed suicide after being accused of raping a minor girl in his neighbourhood.

No suicide note was found, and his family did not accuse anyone.

According to the police, a case was registered against Lal Singh last Wednesday accusing him of rape, and he committed suicide the following afternoon, when his body was found hanging in his prison.

According to the complaint made by the girl's mother, the daughter told her that the man had lured her with coffee and then raped her. "I was shocked when my daughter told me that he had been harassing her for several days. She also told me that he threatened to kill her if she told someone, but when my daughter told me, I went to the the police".

"The real reason behind the suicide is not yet clear, as no suicide note was found in the perpetrator's room," one of the police officers said, adding that there is speculation that he committed suicide because he was booked for rape.
