Mumbai: A special POCSO court has acquitted a 35-year-old man, arrested in 2022 after his minor daughter accused him of sexual assault, observing that neither the girl nor her mother made any incriminating statements against him during the trial.
Allegations of Sexual Assault Filed in 2022
According to the prosecution, the girl had lodged a complaint at the Kandivali police station, alleging that her father, an alcoholic, sexually assaulted her a few days before the Ganpati festival while her mother, who worked as a maid, was away.
She claimed he threatened to kill her if she revealed the incident. Later, when her mother heard her cries and confronted her, the girl allegedly disclosed the assault, following which the duo approached the police.
