Hyderabad: A man who has continuously raped his stepdaughter since 2018 has been brought to life by a local court. In addition, the mother of the victim was aware of the problem and she also took it once for abortion.
The accused fertilized the victim three times and had her give birth to a baby boy, after being questioned by family members and neighbors, that the girl was married to a man from the Gulf. The victim’s brother was also aware of the problem and said the accused would lock the girl in the room where he would repeatedly offend her. The incidents took place in an area below the borders of the Kanchanbagh police station.
The brother of the victim, who allegedly lives separately, further said that the accused would rape the girl even after the delivery, Telangana Today reports. It should be noted that the girl managed to escape from captivity in January this year. However, the brothers and sisters were allegedly threatened by their mother, and the man also told them not to disclose the ordeal that the victim went through. The couple also tried to burn the brother’s house to prevent him from filing a complaint.
Based on the complaint, the Kanchanbagh police discussed the couple in terms of relevant articles of the Indian Penal Code and POCSO Act and filed a charge sheet in court. The court imposed a life sentence on the accused while the mother was acquitted.
