Siliguri, 13th October: In a distressing incident, a man has been arrested by Pradhan Nagar Police Station after his minor daughter accused him of repeatedly attempting to sexually assault her.
According to sources, the girl alleged that her father had been attempting to sexually assault her for a prolonged period. She reportedly informed her mother about the alleged incidents, but her mother did not believe her claims. The girl further alleged that her father’s behaviour continued.
Concerned about the safety of her eight-year-old younger sister, the minor eventually gathered the courage to approach Pradhan Nagar Police Station and lodge a written complaint.
Acting on the complaint, police arrested the accused on Monday night. On Tuesday, a case was registered against him under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and he was produced before the Siliguri court. Police are investigating the matter.
