Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh-India): In a shocking incident, a 17-year-old girl has accused her 45-year-old father, an armyman, of subjecting her to sexually inappropriate behaviour for the last 13 years on the pretext of punishing her for committing mistakes.
The 17-year-old complaint said that her father has been sexually abusing her since she was four years old.
Armyman sexually tortures daughter
The teenager, who resides in Bhopal, said whenever she erred, her father made her stand naked on the terrace, touched her inappropriately and assaulted her with his belt. The girl also mentioned that her mother, who was aware of the sexual torture that she was facing since age four, did nothing to protect her. Instead, she scolded her and told her to silently “obey her father” as she didn’t want the people in their locality to know about the shameful act. Her sister, who is elder to her, was also sexually abused, the girl added.
The teenager had earlier verbally reported the matter the police, following which a warning was given to the accused. When he was leaving home to join duty, he allegedly told the girl that after coming home on next vacation, he “would do something to her that she will not be able to show her face to anyone,” The Times of India reported.
Terrified teen emails complaints
Fearing treat given by her father, the teenager, on September 28, sent out emails to Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA), Delhi, Bhopal Police, and the CM’s helpline, apprising them of the sexual torture she has been facing. Two days later, she contacted Childline officials, who then helped her lodge a complaint with Bairagarh Police on Thursday.
Case registered against accused
Bairagarh Police have booked the accused under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and Juvenile Justice Act. Senior inspector Mona Jadon said a team to arrest him will be constituted.
