Hyderabad: The Metropolitan Sessions Court at LB Nagar on Tuesday sentenced a 38-year-old man to three years of rigorous imprisionment for molesting his 13-year-old daughter.
On October 21, 2016, Meerpet police had registered a case against one Kembasaram Mahender (38) under sections 354 and section 12 of POCSO Act, following a complaint from his wife.
Mahender, a resident of Jillelaguda in Balapur mandal, has two children including a daughter (13 years old). A day before he was booked in a case, the accused, an alcohol addict, went home in a drunk condition and picked up a quarrel with his wife. Later, he dragged his daughter to another room by holding her hand and then misbehaved with her outraging the modesty.
Unable to bear that, his daughter brought sleeping pills and consumed them to end her life. She was admitted to Osmania General Hospital for treatment and later got discharged.
