Made her expose herself and threatened to kill her if she told anyone about it
If you thought the case of the Mira Road man who connived with a tantrik to rape his daughters was a one-off incident, think again.
In another shocking case that came to light last night, Sameer Dondilkar (30) was arrested for allegedly molesting his six-year-old stepdaughter and threatening to kill her.

However, in this instance, the mother was unaware of the goings-on.

Sameer and the victim's mother Khushboo (name changed) married two and a half months ago.
It was Khushboo's second marriage. She already has two daughters aged nine and six from her first marriage.
Khushboo ran her own business while Sameer was unemployed.
Earlier, the girls used to go with Khushboo to her workplace, but after the wedding, Sameer offered to stay at home and look after the girls.

Nick of time
On Saturday night, Khushboo realised that her younger daughter had grown quiet in the last few days and was not walking properly.
Khushboo's sister Shabnam (name changed) said, "After much persuasion, the child confided that Sameer used to make her stand in the nude, touch her private parts and finger-rape her when Khushboo was not at home. He threatened to kill her if she told anyone the truth.

When we learnt this, we filed a complaint against him. Thank God we caught him now.
He was supposed to leave for Bahrain on Wednesday where his mother and elder brother live. Who knows whether he would have come back?"u00a0
The child was taken for a check-up to Bhagwati Hospital in Borivli last night. Sameer will be produced in Thane court today.
