A man was arrested Monday for allegedly trying to rape his daughter while she was sleeping at her home in Maigalganj, Lakhimpur Kheri District, Uttar Pradesh.
The victim was recently married and had met her parents in Maigalganj when the incident happened, police said.
The victim was asleep when her father came home drunk. He is said to have touched her inappropriately and has also threatened to remain calm, a Times of India report reads.
However, the victim yelled for help and woke her mother, who then turned to the police.
The victim reportedly told police that her father had sexually abused her in the past, but she remained silent.
During the interrogation, the defendant confessed to having committed the crime, the police said.
Meanwhile, the victim was sent for a medical examination on Tuesday.
Maigalganj SHO CP Singh told the Times of India: “The defendant was very drunk when we arrested him.
“His daughter was recently married to a distant relative. We will now take her to court to document her testimony under Section 164 of the Indian Criminal Code [IPC]. The defendant was sent to prison after confessing to the crime, “he said.
