Emboldened by getting away with raping his 14-year-old niece for the last seven months, a 38-year-old man tried to do the same to her elder sister and landed up in jail.

Around 3 pm on Saturday, the survivor’s elder sister, who is 16 years old, was alone at her home in Vasai as her parents had gone to a relative’s house. Her uncle allegedly forcibly entered the house and tried to rape her. Her neighbours heard her cries for help and called the police.
