JAIPUR: A 60-year-old woman registered a case of attempt to rape against her son who tried to sexually assault her while in an inebriated state on Friday night in Hanumangarh. He was arrested on Saturday.

The 35-year-old accused had been absconding following the complaint. Ramesh Chandra Machra, SHO, Mahila Thana, Hanumangarh, said, “the accused was apparently in a drunk state when he tried to rape his mother. She somehow managed to escape and registered a case on Friday night. We immediately launched an investigation and arrested the accused.”

The woman stayed with her son who worked as a labourer in Hanumangarh. “The accused has a history of alcoholism. At this point, the reason why he attempted such an act is not known,” added the official.
