Ullal: Man in Kumpala arrested for raping minor stepdaughter
Ullal: The stepfather of a minor girl was arrested by Ullal Police on Sunday, under charge of raping the girl at home in Kumpala Bypass recently.
The matter came to light some time after the incident, when the girl was staying with her grandmother. A complaint was filed and a case was registered under the POCSO Act against the arrested man, identified as Aamir.
The mother of the victim had married Aamir after the death of her husband and lived with him and her daughter in a rented house in Kumpala. Aamir reportedly raped the girl at home when her mother was sleeping, thrusting a pillow into the girl’s mouth when she tried to scream.
The girl later stayed at her grandmother’s house and went to school from there. Some time later, however, she told her mother in the presence of her stepfather that he had raped her. The relatives at the grandmother’s house too had learned of the matter.
The victim was made to undergo a medical test on Saturday at a private hospital in Derlakatte, with the report confirming that she had been raped.
Ullal Police, who filed a POCSO Act case against Aamir, arrested him on Sunday.
