Jaipur, June 26: A man was arrested and sent to jail on Thursday for raping two minor daughters for about five years here, a senior police official said. Police filed an FIR after recording statements of the girls and their mother through a hidden camera. The woman had refused to file a case due to fear of society and her husband. The case was registered at Sadar police station and the investigation was handed over to a senior police officer.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Amit Kumar told PTI, "On June 20, the mother reached the hospital with two daughters complaining of stomach ache. Both were in bad condition. The mother told the doctor that both the girls were complaining of stomach ache and mental stress. When the doctor inquired, the truth came to light."

Kumar said that on June 21, the Association for Voluntary Action, an organisation working against child labour and child sexual violence, received information from Aasra Foundation that a woman from Sadar police station area wants to talk about sexual abuse of her daughters. On this, the NGO contacted the woman. The mother and minor daughters were taken to a safe and quiet place for counselling. It was revealed that the minor girls were raped by their father, Kumar said.

"We made an action plan, got the counselling videographed with a hidden camera as the woman had refused to register a case. Therefore, Chitrakoot Circle Inspector Antim Sharma was asked to counsel the woman and girls in the presence of the NGO."
