A 35 year-old man from Malad (East) has been arrested for allegedly raping his minor daughter for three nights, after threatening her with a knife. The accused, who works in a private firm, was taken into custody by police on February 14, after his wife caught him in the act.

The survivor narrated the whole incident to her mother, claiming that her father had been sexually assaulting her repeatedly, threatening that if she opened her mouth, he would kill her and her mother. Realising the seriousness of the matter, the mother garnered courage and approached the Kurar police along with her daughter.
