Hyderabad: A minor was sexually assaulted by her uncle at her residence at Brookbond Colony in Ghatkesar.
A few days back, the mother of the victim went out with her relatives, leaving her two daughters, aged 13 years and 12 years, in the house. Their uncle, who is a lorry driver, was also in the house at that time.
