According to police, the accused, Mani (51) is a resident of Tondiarpet. Since he did not have any children, he adopted his relative’s daughter when she was young.

On Sunday, she gave birth to a baby girl in a government hospital. When the staff enquired about the father, she told them it was Mani. The Tondiarpet All Women Police Station officials were informed about the incident and Mani was arrested under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO).
