The police have booked a 40-year-old man for raping his 17-year-old daughter and blackmailing her with a video of her having sex with her 17-year-old boyfriend.
The father is on the run after the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act court rejected his plea for anticipatory bail, a Times of India report said. The report said the boyfriend, too, was booked for rape, but his plea for anticipatory bail was allowed as his lawyer Vaibhav Jagtap said the allegations were against the minor's father and the boy's name was only added later.
