Law enforcement officials in Jodhpur moved quickly following an email tip received on January 13. The elder daughter, now 18, reported a harrowing history of abuse that allegedly began when she was only six years old. According to the Nagori Gate police, the suspect used intimidation and death threats to maintain silence for over a decade.
The situation escalated recently when the younger daughter, age 15, confided in her sister that their father had also victimised her. After informing their mother of the problem, the siblings sought legal intervention via an electronic complaint.
Following the written statement, local police registered a formal case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The specific charges include aggravated rape under section 65(2).
Although the suspect initially attempted to flee after the case was filed, he was successfully tracked down and detained on Thursday evening. Medical examinations for both survivors have been completed, and their official statements have been recorded to bolster the prosecution's case.
