A 50-year-old man was convicted by a sessions court yesterday, for molesting his daughter for two years. The case was under trial for the past year, during which the 18-year-old survivor found no support from her family members, despite the fact that, according to her, the accused had also molested her elder sister, as well as beaten up their mother when she tried to protest.

According to the survivor, her father would molest her when no one else was home. When he first began making overtures over three years ago, she was convinced that he couldn’t possibly harass his own daughter. He soon got bolder, however, and began molesting her. She complained about it to her mother, who confronted the accused and was then beaten up by him.
