Police personnel in India's Agra district were left with raised eyebrows when a 60-year-old woman came to the rescue of her 22-year-old lover in a domestic violence case, as he needed her help to be bailed out.
Police said the man was arrested on Tuesday after his wife filed a complaint of domestic violence.
“The complainant said that she suspects her husband of having an extramarital affair with an elderly lady who is a mother of seven children. Whenever she tried to talk to her husband about it, he would assault her,” said a senior police officer.
Police said that based on the complaint, the accused was taken into custody.
“Later in the day, the 60-year-old woman arrived in the police station and applied for his bail,” the officer said, adding she also revealed that he was her lover.
Police said that they were initially shocked to learn about the elderly lady’s claims. But he was granted bail as per law.
