    In a shocking incident, a 40-year-old father has been booked on a charge of raping his teenaged daughter repeatedly during the past two years. The incident came to light when the 14-year-old victim shared her plight with her maternal aunt, who later approached the police.
     
     
    The accused has been identified as Sukhdev Singh of Virk Colony in Patiala and the police have registered a case under Section 376 of the IPC and different Sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act at the Anaaj Mandi police station.
     
     
    Investigating Officer Harminder Singh informed that the victim and her aunt had approached the police. Medical reports have confirmed forcible, sexual assault on the victim. 
     
     
    The victim is a Class X student and her mother had died six years ago. Her father is a daily wager and after her mother’s death, she was staying alone with her father.
     
     
    The FIR states that the accused had forcibly developed relations with his daughter and continued to sexually assault her for the past two years.
     
     
    He had also threatened his daughter of dire consequences if she spoke to anyone about this. The child was initially under trauma and was scared to share the incident with anyone but she finally brought the matter to the notice of her maternal aunt who came to visit her on Thursday.
     
     
    The aunt immediately took the victim to the police station and reported the matter. The accused is absconding and the hunt is on to nab him
