After spending three years in jail, a man accused of raping his 14-year-old daughter was acquitted, along with his brother, by a special court. During the trial, the court observed that the allegations were made out of revenge by the victim’s mother. She implicated the duo, so that she could get a divorce from her husband.

On November 15, 2018, a woman registered an FIR against her husband, an auto driver, and his brother, an AC technician, at Shahu Nagar Police Station, Dharavi, for allegedly raping her daughter. The complainant, a mother of three children, including the victim, told the police that her husband and his brother repeatedly sexually assaulted her daughter in her absence. Following her complaint, the police registered a case against both brothers under relevant sections of the Prevention of Children from Sexual Offence (POCSO) Act and arrested them.
