Hyderabad
(Telengana), September 23: The local police in Hyderabad said that two more
incidents of sexual assaults on minor girls were reported in the city on
Wednesday.
In the first, a 45-year-old man was arrested for sexually assaulting his own minor daughter
at Rajendranagar and in the other, a teenager had allegedly misbehaved with an
eight-year-old girl in a lift within an apartment at Jubilee Hills.
In the first
case, Hyderabad police say that after his wife’s death a few years ago, the
accused, a laborer, who resides in Rajendranagar along with his two daughters aged
below 15 was arrested. On Wednesday, the elder of the two daughters confided in a neighbour about sexual assaults from her own father.
The
neighbours then alerted the police and also handed over the girl’s father to
the cops. The police found that for the past few months, the accused, in an
inebriated condition, would threaten and sexually assault the girl. The police have
registered a case under charges of rape and the POCSO Act and have started
investigations.
In the
Jubilee Hills case, the victim’s family resides in an apartment and the boy’s father
works as a watchman. Late on Tuesday, while the girl was playing with her
friends, the boy, 14, approached her saying that someone on the sixth floor of
the apartment was calling her.
He took the
girl alone into the lift, and as the lift started moving, he misbehaved with
her and touched her inappropriately. The girl rushed home and informed her
parents, who approached the police, who in turn have registered a case and have
started an investigation in the case.
