Dad Cut Off Hands of His Baby's Alleged Rapist: Cops
Indian man on the run after reportedly severing teen's hands, leaving him in ditch.
(Newser) – A young Indian father out for vigilante justice lured the teen accused of raping his baby daughter away from a Punjab state courthouse Tuesday, tied him to a tree, and cut both of the suspect's hands off, cops say, per AFP . The 25-year-old father, IDed as Parminder Singh, is then alleged to have dumped the 17-year-old into a dried-up canal. "A few villagers heard the juvenile's cries and ran toward the canal. They found the victim bleeding profusely … the father had fled by then," a senior Bathinda police official says, per the Indian Express , adding to AFP about the teen's extremities, "There is nothing below the wrists now."
The mother of the baby, who was 7 months old when she was allegedly raped in April 2014, reportedly came across the teen assaulting her child. The accused was sent to a juvenile home while awaiting his rape trial, and the baby's father reportedly approached him after a hearing Tuesday on the pretense of reaching an out-of-court settlement. The teen and his severed hands were brought to a nearby hospital, where he was said to be in stable condition (it's unclear from reports if doctors were able to reattach his hands). Police are now looking for the father to bring attempted murder charges against him. (An Indian woman was burned alive for ditching an arranged marriage.)
He cut off the wrong part!
"He cut off the wrong part!"
That's exactly what I was thinking of saying and then saw you beat me to it.
What I can't get past and what I was just talking to my wife about is what kind of twisted mind does it take to think of a 7 month old baby a a sexual object? I mean 7 MONTHS OLD!? How can that be a turn on for any human being? I can't get my mind around something like that? These people who are turned on about this walk among us and we have no idea of who they are until they strike.
Should have just killed him and put him out of everyone else's misery.
I think it's a mental illness issue and a rage issue (combined). Rape is not a crime of passion, but of hate.
In a future world it would a way be nice to find a way make them glow or something so we know who they are!

Good idea. About a thousand roentgens of radiation within a three minute period should do the job nicely.
I'll be glad to throw the switch!
I think the no-hands thing might be a giveaway.....
They should reattach the hands on the opposite arms for punishment.
