"In a state of complete helplessness and utter shock, the victim of the offence of rape has asked to her convict-father, when he overpowered her to perform this heinous Crime on her, 'whether any father does such an act with his daughter.' This was stated by the victim in Court while deposing against the convict, with tears rolling down her eyes," the judge said. Judge Tahir Khurshid Raina states that the question was not merely directed towards the accused but served as a wake-up call for society at large, thereby raising urgent questions about the safety of children even within their homes.
