JE News Desk: In a shocking incident, a 42-year-old man was arrested on Friday in Andhra Pradesh’s Eluru district for allegedly sexually exploiting his two stepdaughters. The police said that the accused impregnated his 17-year-old stepdaughter and also forced sexual relations with her 16-year-old younger sister.
"Instead of playing the role of a father, that person (stepfather) has committed sexual assault on both girls," a police official told news agency PTI. The police said that the man had married the girl’s biological mother in 2010 after her first husband died. The woman’s family hails from Visakhapatnam.
Following a complaint lodged by the minor girl, the police registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and also arrested the mother and stepfather. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
In another incident which took place earlier this week in Uttar Pradesh’s Chitrakoot district, a man was arrested for allegedly raping his 13-year-old daughter.
