Jaipur (PTI): A man was arrested and sent to jail here on Thursday for alleged sexual abuse, including rape, of his two minor daughters over five years, a senior police official said.

Police filed an FIR after recording statements of the girls and their mother, who was initially apprehensive about filing a case against her husband.

The case was registered at Sadar police station and the investigation was handed over to a senior police officer. Police said the sexual abuse had been going on for over five years.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Amit Kumar told PTI, "On June 20, the mother reached the hospital with two daughters complaining of stomach ache. Both were in bad condition. The mother told the doctor that both the girls were complaining of stomach ache and mental stress. When the doctor inquired, the truth came to light."

The DCP said that the accused was arrested, presented before a court and sent to jail.

Kumar said that on June 21, the Association for Voluntary Action, an organisation working against child labour and child sexual violence, received information from Aasra Foundation that a woman from Sadar police station area wants to talk about sexual abuse of her daughters.

The NGO reached out to the woman and her daughters who were taken for counselling. It was found that the minor girls were raped by their father, Kumar said.

"We made an action plan, got the counselling videographed with a hidden camera as the woman had refused to register a case. Therefore, Chitrakoot Circle Inspector Antim Sharma was asked to counsel the woman and girls in the presence of the NGO."

The NGO report and counselling provided enough evidence, following which the police registered an FIR.

After this, the girls were examined by the medical board. After the medical reports confirmed the facts, the accused was arrested. The investigation so far has revealed that the accused had been raping his minor daughters for five years, police said.

Baghpat (UP) (PTI): Police said on Saturday that three youths allegedly bludgeoned a man to death with a brick in Meetli village here following a late-night beer party.

Preliminary investigations suggest the dispute arose from a suspected illicit relationship, said police, adding that the three accused have been detained.

Police received information on Saturday morning that the body of Sonu (40), a resident of Dola village, was lying in the forest near Meetli village.

There were visible signs of severe head injuries on his body, and bottles of liquor and beer were also recovered from the crime scene, leading to the suspicion that a drinking party had taken place there before the incident, police said.

Superintendent of Police Suraj Kumar Rai said police registered a case based on the written complaint submitted by the family members.

Police sent the body for a postmortem.

According to the deceased's family members, two youngsters from the same village took him away at 8:00 pm on Friday, and he never returned home.

They said when they tried to contact him via phone, his mobile number was switched off.

The deceased worked as a street food vendor in the village and is survived by his wife, two sons, and two daughters.
