‘HE SHOULD BE HANGED’ WIFE OF MAN WHO ‘RAPED EIGHT-MONTH-OLD BABY’ SAYS HE SHOULD GET THE DEATH PENALTY IF GUILTY
Hema, who has a nine-month-old son with the alleged rapist, has been subjected to both verbal and physical abuse by her community since her husband was arrest. |
Housewife Hema Kohli, 22, had been
married to her husband for three years when he was arrested for the depraved
act and now faces abuse in the street when she leaves her home.
THE wife of a man who raped his
eight-month-old cousin in has called for her husband to be executed if he is
found guilty.
Housewife Hema Kohli, 22, cannot
believe her husband of three years is could do something so horrifying and said
that if "he’s guilty he should be hanged".
Heartbroken she said: “I cannot
believe I fell in love with a man like this. If he is proven guilty, I want to
see him hanged in front of my eyes.”
Suraj Kohli, 26, who worked as a
cleaner for a private firm, was arrested on January 29, for raping his
eight-month-old cousin while drunk at their shared-home in Northwest Delhi,
India’s capital city.
The little girl was at home with her
two-year-old sister and aunt, on January 28, while her dad, 28, and mum, 25,
were out working.
Cops say Kohli took the victim into a
bedroom on claiming he was going to play with her.
But when her mum returned home, she
saw her baby lying in a pool of blood and crying, with no sign of Kohli.
She quickly told her aunt before
taking her to doctors at the local government clinic, who confirmed she had
been raped.
Hema said said: “I am still
speechless. I cannot get over the shock. I’m struggling to digest it. But I
have full sympathies with the baby and her mother.
“I was very close to them. My heart
aches for her and I will support her. If I have to go against my husband for it
then I will.”
Hema, who has a nine-month-old son with
the alleged rapist, has been subjected to both verbal and physical abuse by her
community since her husband was arrest.
She added: “I cannot stay here now. I
am abused, taunted and even attacked with stones every time I see the
neighbours.
“I try and explain to them that I am
as angry as they are but they do not want to accept this.
“I have no choice than to leave this
area and move to live with my in-laws in their village. I will stay with them
now but not here.”
Hema and Suraj met in early 2015, where
they both worked as cleaners and had instant chemistry. The couple quickly fell
in love and married six months later on 11 August, 2015.
They had a baby girl the following
year but she died aged three-months-old as she was born premature and never
recovered. But in June last year they had a baby boy.
Hema recalls that Suraj had been upset
about something over the last three weeks and had started drinking heavily.
"He was upset about
something," she added. "I asked him several times but he did not
share anything. He just said it was personal so I never knew what was wrong.
But he had started drinking a lot because of it.
“He was determined to give his son a
good education and life. Everyone in the family are shocked that he could do
something like this.”
