Mumbai: Mumbai Police on Saturday arrested a man for allegedly allowing a friend to rape his own daughter to pay off a loan of Rs 50,000. The class eight student was forced into a sexual relationship with a man for two years, while her own parents kept guard. The accused rapist used to live with the family and had loaned the amount for buying a room.
The 40-year-old man named Nisar, who was a close friend of victim's father, had been living with the family for last four years. Policy said that Nisar had illicit relationship with victim's mother. He had given a loan to the family to buy a room. When the parents were unable pay the loan back, Nisar raped the victim with her parents' consent as a mutually agreed mode of repayment of the loan. When the father, who worked as a labourer, used to go for work, victim's mother would force the child to have sex with Nisar. Subjected to the inhuman behavior, the victim slipped into deep depression.
The sordid tale of the ordeal came out when the victim mustered courage to talk to her teacher in this regard in August last year. The teacher first approached her parents to lodge a complaint in this regard. Spooked by the prospects of police action in the case, they sent the victim to their native village in Uttar Pradesh. Then, the teacher contacted some NGO who lodged a formal complaint with the police.
The victim was brought to the city on Friday by UP police and handed over to Vithalwadi police. The victim's statement was later recorded by the Child Welfare Committee and police. Based on the statement, police on Saturday morning booked the three accused under sections 376 (rape), 354 (molestation), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code. While the father was arrested the other two accused are still absconding.
MUMBAI: Cops probing the case of a 16-year-old girl in Ulhasnagar, who claimed her parents forced her to have sex with a man to whom they owed Rs 50,000, booked her parents and the man for rape on Saturday. While the victim's father has been detained, her mother and Nisar Khan (40), a family friend who the minor accused of sexually abusing her, are absconding.
The victim, sent by her parents to their native place in Uttar Pradesh as they feared police action, was brought to the city on Friday by UP police and handed over to Vithalwadi police. The victim's statement was later recorded by the Child Welfare Committee and police. Based on the statement, police on Saturday morning booked the three accused under sections 376 (rape), 354 (molestation), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.
"Initial investigations revealed the victim's mother was involved in an illicit relationship with Nisar and it was she who first forced her daughter into a relationship with him," said Chandrakant Deshmukh, senior inspector of Vithalwadi police station. While the case has been transferred to Kolsewadi police station where the crime first started, the victim has been sent to a child welfare centre. A medical test of the victim will be conducted on Monday.
In her statement, the victim said the family earlier lived in a rented room at Khadegolivali area in Kalyan east and said her parents had borrowed Rs 50,000 from Nisar, who was friendly with the family and lived with them, to buy a new room. She said since they were unable to repay the money, Nisar began physically abusing her two years ago, an act supported by her parents.
The victim alleged in her complaint that when her father would go out to work, her mother would force her to have sex with Nisar, claiming both her mother and Nisar threatened her when she protested. She said the abuse continued when the family moved into their new one-room house at Shiv Nagar in August and Nisar moved with them. She said he would force himself on her at night in the room when her parents and two younger brothers were sleeping.
The victim, a student of Class VIII, went into depression and managed to confide in a teacher last August. The teacher called her parents and asked them to take action against Nisar, but they stopped sending her to school instead and packed her off to their village in UP.
School principal Anju Singh then approached a local NGO, which reported the incident to the Thane CWC. The committee approached Vithalwadi police, but they reportedly refused to file a complaint till the victim directly came to them. The CWC then issued summons to the police, forcing it to contact UP police who then send the victim to the city. However, on learning of the developments, the mother and Nisar reportedly left the city while the father has been detained.
The accused
The victim's 42-year-old father works as a daily wage labourer at construction sites while her 38-year-old mother is a housewife. The main accused, Nisar Khan (40), sells fruits near Vithalwadi station and has been living with the family for the past four years
