In a disturbing incident from Gujarat’s Morbi, a man allegedly allowed his landlord and his relative to repeatedly rape his wife and 13-year-old daughter after he was unable to pay the rent of Rs 2,000. According to reports, the family had moved from Surendranagar to Morbi nearly six months ago seeking employment and better income opportunities. They had rented a house for Rs 2,000 per month, but they were unable to pay rent for four consecutive months due to financial struggles. During an investigation, police officers learned that the accused had allegedly entered into an arrangement with the property owner, in which he allowed the landlord to repeatedly rape his wife and teenage daughter.
