A girl has allegedly been repeatedly raped by her father for the last one-and-a-half years in Okara’s Depalpur area.

Depalpur City Police Station SHO Farrukh Shahzad said that Shaukat Ali, a resident of Area 38-D, had married R* a few years ago and the couple had a daughter N*.

He added on the day of the incident, N* was alone in the house when her father allegedly sexually assaulted her. The SHO maintained that while the accused was committing the shameful act, victim’s uncle Muhammad Hassan reached the spot. On seeing him approaching, Shaukat fled the scene, he pointed out.

The police lodged an FIR against the suspect on complaint of victim’s uncle and started investigations. Meanwhile, N* told the police that her father had allegedly been raping her for the past one-and-a-half-years.
