Srinagar: A Jammu and Kashmir-based man was arrested for allegedly raping his daughter on Monday.
According to police, the incident took place in Kunzer area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district.
Abdul Majid Bhat was arrested after his son Imtiyaz Ahmad – the victim's brother – lodged a police complaint, a police spokesman said.
The spokesman said the statement of the victim and other witnesses were recorded and the girl was sent for a medical examination which prima facie confirmed rape.
Although police did not divulge the age of the victim, the spokesman said the girl was not a minor.
Earlier this year, a nation-wide outcry emerged in the Kathua rape-and-murder scene where an eight-year-old girl was brutally gang-raped and murdered.
