Bhopal: A 31-year-old woman stabbed a man 25 times, who had allegedly been raping her for past 15 years in Madhya Pradesh's Guna, 214 km north of capital Bhopal. The alleged rapist, Brijbhushan Sharma, resident of a village in Ashok Nagar died on spot.

After killing her rapist, the woman immediately informed the police about what she had done, said Ramprakash Verma, town inspector, Cantt police station in Guna.

The woman told the police that Sharma used to reside in her neighbourhood in a village in Ashok Nagar, where he first raped her in 2005 when she was 16 years old. The woman kept silent as Sharma kept blackmailing her with the video of his act to threaten and rape her ever since.

''After her marriage with a man in Guna, Sharma kept visiting her home to blackmail and rape her. On Monday, he came to her house again in an inebriated state. The woman's husband was not present at home as he is posted in another district. While her two kids were sleeping in another room, Sharma started assaulting her. Unable to control her rage, she brought a vegetable knife from the kitchen and stabbed the man repeatedly,'' informed inspector Verma. "The woman's anger could be gauged from the deep injuries on Sharma's body caused by repeated stabbing," Verma added.

Police arrested the woman under section 302 (murder) of IPC and she will be produced before the court on Wednesday.
