New Town police on Friday arrested a resident of Katarian, Rawalpindi for allegedly repeatedly raping his 15-year-old daughter.
The man’s wife told the police that her husband used to rape their daughter but the young girl had kept quiet out of fear. According to the wife, she previously suspected that her husband was sexually assaulting their daughter but it was only when her sister — the girl’s maternal aunt — saw the man raping the victim that her suspicions were confirmed.
She said her daughter, a student of grade seven, also confirmed that she was repeatedly assaulted by her father.
The investigating officer of the case, Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) Afzal Ahmad, told DawnNews that the accused has been remanded into police custody for four days while report of the medical examination of the girl is awaited.
