The accused was caught in his house by neighbours while he was trying to commit the crime in an inebriated condition on Thursday, Deputy Superintendent of Police (Headquarters) Imran Parvez said.

After he was caught, his daughter said that she had been subjected to repeated sexual assault by her father in the past six months.

The DSP said the man was arrested after he was handed over to police by the neighbours and a case had been registered at the Mahila Thana.

A rickshaw-puller by profession, the man stays in Asansol in West Bengal and is in Bihar to visit his family.
