The shocking incest case is from 2012. According to the Times of India report, on the day of the incident, the girl's mother had gone to the hospital at Sewri to be treated for dengue.

In April, a fashion designer in Mumbai was arrested for allegedly raping his two minor daughters, aged 17, and 13.
