A 35-year-old father, who was accused of sexually assaulting his minor daughter, allegedly committed suicide in Rajasthan's Pratapgarh district Monday, police said. The accused's wife had registered a complaint at Dhariawad police station on Sunday alleging that the father had raped their 14-year-old daughter six days ago.

"The man was absconding after an FIR was lodged against him. He returned to his house in in the wee hours of Monday and committed suicide," a police officer said.
