An Indian mother and her ten-year-old daughter were tortured and kept chained inside a locked toilet for three years because the woman’s deranged husband wanted a son.
Rameshwar Rao, 40 – an accountant from the city of Chennai – told his wife Priyanka, 32, she should have an abortion when he found out that she was pregnant with their daughter Pamesha.
According to Reporters: When Mrs Rao refused to have the abortion and gave birth to Pamesha, her husband started a savage campaign of repeatedly molesting her until she again fell pregnant and gave birth to a little boy.
The abuse did not end with the birth of his son, however, and when his wife tried to flee the family home, Rao chained her and Pamesha to a toilet bowl – only moving them when he needed to use it.
Mrs Rao and her daughter were chained to the bowl for three years, despite the fact her husband’s parents were also living in the property at the same time.
During that time the pair were hardly able to move and lived on only plain rice and water.
The pair were eventually saved when Mrs Rao’s father Raj Narayan and a family friend made a surprise visit to Chennai and found the woman and her daughter tied up in the bathroom.
“They had not seen the light of day for three years. They were fed nothing but rice and were in very bad health,’ a police spokesman said.
“The son on the other hand lived a very good, normal life,” he added.
Despite the severity of the treatment, Chennai said Rao could not be arrested as his wife had refused to press charges.
It is understood she plans to continue living with her husband and his family in their home.
The Times of India quoted a policewoman who worked on the case as saying:
“We offered them food and it was sad to see how the girl gobbled down whatever we gave.
“The 10-year-old girl was looking like she was three years old.”
