The accused, Rajiv Singh, allegedly assaulted his wife Kiran Singh, 34, and daughter Shivani, 16. The family stays in Sannidhi Park, Agrawal Nagari, Nalla Sopara (E) and the incident occurred on Monday morning. Rajiv, who works as a watchman, is suspected to have an extra-marital affair and his neighbours said that this caused several fights between the couple. On Monday morning, at around 5.30am, Rajiv came back from work and was under the influence of alcohol when a fight erupted between him and his wife. Then, in a fit of rage, Rajiv picked up an iron rod and started hitting Kiran, and also kicked her in the stomach. When Shivani came to her mother’s rescue, she too was assaulted by her father, said police.

Somehow, the mother-daughter duo managed to escape from the flat and shouted for help, which alerted the neighbours, who informed the Tulinj police about the incident. Once the mob gathered, Rajiv got scared and fled the spot, said cops.

“We have registered cases of Section 315 (a) (act to prevent birth of child),323,324 (causing hurt), threats and other sections of the IPC and have arrested Rajiv who was hiding in Nalla Sopara,” said a Tulinj police official while adding, “We will produce him before the Vasai court on Tuesday.”

The cop went on to add that while Kiran is under medical observation, the condition of her unborn child is still not clear.
