Police have arrested the accused soldier and sent him to jail.
Station house officer (SHO) of Ganganagar police station Ravi Chandrawal said that a case, under section 376 of IPC, was registered on Saturday against the man on the complaint of his 17-year-old daughter. “The fauji has been arrested on the complaint of the girl and booked under charges of rape,” the SHO said.
He said a medical test was conducted on the girl and the report was awaited. He added that initial police investigation has found the girl’s allegation to be true and man has been sent to the jail.
The family has two daughters and a son and the victim is the eldest among the children.
According to the girl’s complaint, her father started exploiting her sexually about three years ago. Initially, he started sending her obscene pictures and texts, which she brought to the notice of her mother, who advised her to ignore it.
During his visit on vacations he used to compel her to see similar videos and one night he raped her. She told her mother about it, who advised her not to tell anybody otherwise it would defame the family and her father could lose his job.
