JAIPUR: Bagru police arrested a 31-year-old man for allegedly molesting an 11-year-old girl in the presence of her mother.
SHO, Bagru police station, Ratan Lal told TOI that the accused was arrested soon after the minor’s father filed an FIR against an accused of sexually molesting his daughter.
“The role of the girl’s mother is also suspicious in the case.
We are probing her involvement.
The accused has been arrested,” he said.
The father in his complaint to the police alleged that his wife was equally complicit in the crime as she did nothing to stop the accused.
The father also alleged that his wife had shown her daughter to the accused over a video call during which the girl was made to remove some of her clothes.
“She was repeatedly harassed and one day the accused came to the house and molested the child.
We are probing this allegation too,” said an official.
The child had also complained to her mother about the accused but she told her not to worry about him.
The Jaipur police said that they had filed a case based on the father’s complaint.
The police said that the accused is a family acquaintance and frequently visited the complainant’s house.
The accused told the girl not to speak about the incident to anyone in the family especially her father.
The father told cops that her wife had also asked their daughter to keep mum about the matter.
