>The Inside Story >
Mumbai: After a 13-year-old Mumbai school student's bone-chilling letter
revealed her horrific ordeal about being raped by her father for six years, the
police on Friday arrested the accused.
The minor girl in her letter also had written about how her mother kept mum over
the years of sexual abuse.
According to a report published in a leading daily Mid-Day, the shocking
incident came to light after the victim, a class VII student, gave a letter to
her teacher which read, “My father raped me and my mother is not helping.”
The teacher, who initially had no idea what the letter read, was visibly shaken
after going through its content. Having realised that it was a desperate appeal
for help from the poor girl, the teacher then sought assistance from a local NGO
in Vashi.

The NGO later got a rape case registered against the girl's parents.
“My father raped me in front of my mother. After this, my mother would offer me
some pills. He has been raping me since I was seven years old. Despite
complaining to my mother, she refused to help me,” the teenage girl alleged in
the letter.
The girl’s 45-year-old father is a fruit vendor who used to rape her since she
was 7-year-old.
“Whenever my brothers weren’t at home, my father would take advantage of the
opportunity and rape me inside my house, in front of my mother. I had complained
to my mother several times, but she never helped me,” she had told the
police.
The now 13-year-old girl told Vashi police that she had also informed her
17-year-old sister about the assault. The police, after primary investigation
into the matter, said that the elder sister doesn’t stay with the family, and
she too has been a victim of the father’s sexual assault.
Interestingly, the girl was able to muster courage after receiving a counselling
session at school, a police officer from Vashi police station, said requesting
anonymity.
Though the police questioned the girl's mother, but she had categorically denied
the charges made by the girl against her father. Shockingly, the woman claimed
that she came to know about the sexual assaults only a fortnight ago, after
which she scolded her husband and asked him to stay away from the teenager.
With the local police beginning its probe into the case, the girl is now put up
at a children’s home owned by the NGO.
A case has been registered against both the parents under Section 376 (rape) of
the Indian Penal Code, along with Section 5(L)(N) of the Protection of Children
from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012.

Meanwhile, the father of the girl has now been arrested.
“ We have arrested the father, but are investigating as to what exact role her
mother had to play. The survivor has told us that her mother has offered her
some medicine. We will verify what medicines were given to her,” Deputy
Commissioner of Police Shahaji Umap ( Navi Mumbai Zone I) was quoted as saying
in the report.
Once these details are confirmed, we will arrest the mother too, the official
said. The police officials investigating the case believe these medicines were
contraceptive pills, which the mother offered to her daughter to avoid
pregnancy.
