Man arrested for raping 16-year-old daughter multiple times in Saharanpur – India News

A man has been arrested in Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh for allegedly raping his 16-year-old daughter multiple times, PTI reported.

According to Superintendent of Police (Rural) Sagar Jain, the incident came to light on Thursday when the victim approached the police station and explained the harrowing ordeal she had undergone. The girl revealed that her mother died ten years ago, leaving her vulnerable to her father’s abuse.

Jain further stated that the victim had earlier confided in her family members about the assault, but the Panchayat’s intervention had not deterred the accused. Undeterred, the father continued to commit the heinous acts, often resorting to physical violence to silence his daughter.

Following the complaint, an FIR was lodged against the suspect and the victim was sent for a medical examination. Police immediately arrested the perpetrator and further investigations are underway.
