The accused, described by authorities as a habitual drunkard and father of two daughters, was booked and taken into custody following a swift police investigation.
Gruesome Discovery by Goat Herders
According to the official complaint, the crime unfolded when the complainant and his companions were grazing goats in the area.

The group immediately intervened to rescue the screaming victim, noting that the father appeared to be heavily intoxicated at the time.
