Man raped teenage daughter for a year, impregnated her, booked
After the girl's medical examination at a hospital, they lodged a case in the matter. The accused has managed to escape the region, and the police are looking for him.
City police officials have booked a 45-year-old man for allegedly raping his 15-year-old daughter for the past year and impregnating her. Later, the accused father also made her take abortion pills. The police are looking for the accused.
The accused does odd jobs for a living, while his wife, the complainant in the case, works as a caretaker. She would often have to leave home for days for her work. Whenever she would go out for a longer period of time at work, the accused would abuse his teenage daughter at their house.
“The accused father has been raping the minor since August 2023. He had threatened to kill her if she told anyone about it. The girl was scared and kept mum. In the month of June, the father discovered that the girl became pregnant. Hence, he gave her some pills, following which the girl’s pregnancy got aborted. The girl didn’t know that the pills were for abortion,” said a police source.
After the abortion and due to the persistent assaults, she slipped into depression. Her mother observed that her daughter has been behaving differently lately and looks depressed, said a police officer.
