The Sector 5 police also registered a case against the accused's wife and their son on Saturday.

The woman, a native of Hisar, had complained to Hisar police against her father-in-law Suresh Kumar and alleged that he was raping her for the past two years. After receiving the complaint, a 'zero' FIR was registered in Hisar and the case was transferred to Gurgaon. Zero FIR is filed irrespective of the jurisdiction on a woman's complaint and later the case is transferred to the place where the woman stays.

The victim, who is married in Gurgaon, went to her parents' place in Hisar where she narrated the incident to her family and registered the case at a police station there.
