Bhind, (Madhya Pradesh),
29 June: In Habipura village in Bhind district of the central Indian state of
Madhya Pradesh, a drunk man raped his own daughter on June 25.
According to the
complaint filed, the victim was sleeping in the courtyard of the house. In the night,
the man who was drunk allegedly raped his daughter. The next morning the daughter
narrated the whole incident to her mother and aunt. They then went to the
police and filed a case against the man who was arrested later.
According to police
sub-inspector Narendra Solanki, the 46-year-old accused man came home drunk on
Friday night as usual. He started quarrelling with his wife under the influence
of alcohol. First, he beat up his wife. When the girl saw her mother being
beaten up, the 18-year-old daughter protested.
Due to this, there was
a dispute between the daughter and the father so people from the neighbourhood
gathered near the house. Angered the man left in a huff. The daughter then went
to sleep in the courtyard of the house as usual. The wife and other children
slept in the room inside the house.
Much later in the
night the man returned home and forcibly raped his 18-year-old. In the morning,
the daughter started crying after seeing her mother. When the mother asked the
daughter, she did not say anything but kept on crying. Hearing the girl crying
bitterly, a woman from the neighbouring house came to their house.
When mother and aunt kept
asking the girl what had happened, she finally narrated her ordeal to them. The
neighbouring woman informed her family and her husband dialled the police
helpline number '100 so the police arrived and registered the complaint. The
man was arrested soon after.
The accused was brought
to Gohad police station. At the police station, a woman constable questioned
the victim so she narrated the whole incident to the police.
According to the
police, the accused has four children. Among the four children, the eldest one is
a son who works as a labourer in Gujarat.
The second child is the daughter who he allegedly raped. He has two younger daughters also. The accused is addicted to liquor and apparently, he committed the crime while allegedly being intoxicated. The police also sent the daughter for a medical checkup and the report is awaited.
