Last week, another minor girl was allegedly raped by her father for six months in Budhana town of the state. The incident came to light after the victim's mother caught the accused red-handed. After being exposed, the accused also threatened the mother-daughter duo, however, they reached out to the police for justice.
The Central Government had approved the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill, 2018 earlier this year which ensures stringent punishment for those convicted of raping girls below 12 years of age.
