Killed Her Because She Resisted Rape

The 19-year-old girl used to work at a Mall in the city to stay away from her father. She had come home on leave when her father tried to rape her. As she resisted her father's rape attempt, he killed her and beheaded her. Neighbours say that the man appeared to be traumatized after his wife died nearly 15 years ago. He would often scream at nights. He raised his daughters by selling grains on a bicycle. The man confessed that he killed his daughter because of her bad character and also accepted that he raped her several times in the past.

This is not the first time that a father raped his daughter. Last year in January, A Delhi sessions court awarded 10 years of imprisonment to a father who raped his own 5-year-old daughter. The survivor accused her father of sexually harassing her in a state of intoxication. In September 2017, a 12-year-old girl realised that her father had been repeatedly raping her for the past seven years, after attending a class on good and bad touch in her school. After the lesson, the girl confided about what was happening to her to a friend. The friend then informed the principal and a case was registered against the father in Bajghera police station.
