A 46-year-old man, who allegedly sexually assaulted his daughter in the past three years, was arrested here on Monday.
Presenting the accused and his wife before the media, the Chandragiri police said the father, a driver, was a drunkard.
“The accused had first committed the crime in a drunken state and when the 22-year-old girl and the mother protested, he silenced them by threatening to kill them.The incident came to light when the girl, contemplating suicide, approached one of her distant relatives, who in turn encouraged her to lodge a complaint,” they said.
