A 20-year-old man has been arrested by the Indian authorities for raping a 100-year-old grandmother in her own bedroom.

The 20-year-old suspect, identified as Argha Biswas, was caught hiding under the bed after he perpetuated the shameful act.

According to reports, the centenarian’s granddaughter said she heard strange noises coming from her grandma’s room and raced to help.

The 100-year-old’s granddaughter, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “I heard some strange noises.

“When I looked through the window, I immediately called others to help when I saw my grandmother.”

Family members were alerted to the situation after hearing calls for help from the elderly woman’s room, at their home in a village in Nadia district, West Bengal, eastern India.

Biswas told reporters outside the court that he was “under the influence of alcohol and did not know what I was doing,”when questioned about the accused crime.

The 100-year-old woman was taken to a hospital following the alleged incident but was discharged Wednesday.

Biswas has appeared before a local court and will spend 14 days in judicial custody before another hearing takes place.
