The survivor’s father said in his police complaint, “Around 5am, I went out for some work. When I returned 20 minutes later, I saw a man scaling the boundary wall of my house. I could not chase him as I rushed to my daughter on hearing her cries. When I went to my daughter, I found she had been
sexually abused.”
