Cuttack, Jan 22: A woman has levelled rape attempt allegation against her 63-year-old father-in-law in Mahanga area of the district.

The woman today filed a complaint at Mahanga police station that her father-in-law attempted to rape her in the morning when she was alone at home.

Her husband reached home at that time and rescued her. The old man lost his cool and attacked his son for obstructing him, the complainant said.

My father-in-law in law had attempted several times to rape me earlier as I am barren after five years of my marriage, she complained.

She also alleged that her father-in-law had locked her husband in house not allowing him to go out for livelihood.

However, the 63-year-old accused said all the allegations are false and levelled with malafide intention.
