The Shimlapuri Police arrested a carpenter for attempting a rape bid on his minor stepdaughter. The accused was sexually harassing her for the past two years. The victim shared her ordeal with her class teacher, who took her to the child welfare committee for further help.
After being informed, the Shimlapuri Police lodged an FIR against the accused and arrested him.
The FIR has been lodged following the statement of the mother of the victim. The complainant stated that she objected to it, but to no avail, as her husband used to threaten her that he will kill her and her daughter if she filed a complaint against him.
The woman added that she had married the accused on October 16, 2019. It was her second marriage. She has a daughter from her first marriage. It was also the second marriage of her husband after the death of his first wife.

The girl narrated the entire incident to her class teacher, who took her to the child welfare committee near the Observation Home at the Gill Road near Sidhwan canal.
After recording her statement, the Shimlapuri Police lodged an FIR against the accused under Sections 376, 511, and 506 of the IPC and Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
