Daughters-in-law face charges after chopping off would-be molester father-in-law's hands

Enraged over repeated attempts by their father-in-law to sexually assault them, two women in a village in Bihar, India, chopped off the man's hands to teach him a lesson he would never forget, police have said.

"The hands of Radheyshyam Singh, a resident of Bhanas village under Dinara block in Rohtas district, were chopped off by his daughters-in-law after he attempted to molest them," Deputy Superintendent of Police Krishna Kumar Singh said. Another district police official said the daughters-in-law told police that they were fed up with repeated attempts by Radheyshyam Singh to sexually molest them.



Two days ago, Radheyshyam Singh tried to molest one of his daughters-in-law as she was busy cutting vegetables. The woman raised an alarm, and the other daughter-in-law rushed to intervene, and also told the man to keep off. Radheyshyam then tried to molest the other daughter-in-law, police said.

"They overpowered him and chopped off both his hands with a sharp weapon (cleaver)," police said. Radheyshyam Singh was admitted to a hospital in Varanasi after initial treatment in Rohtas, police said. Police have lodged a case in this connection on the basis of the statement of both the daughters-in-law.

Good for them. They should have cut another part off, too, for good measure.

Strangely (in the UK and USA at least) cutting off the expected bits doesn't stop a sex offender from molesting people. They normally find other ways of doing so. Though I do think both hands is a little mean, I'm not exactly crying for him either.
