The incident came to light on Friday only after the 14-year-old victim’s mother narrated the incident to child welfare authorities and lodged a complaint.

The victim said that taking advantage of the vacant house, her father raped her even though she pleaded him not to.

“Even though the victim reported about the incident to her mother, she, however, decided to remain silent and did not wish to go against her husband,” an official said.
