Ludhiana: The Ludhiana Rural Police on Friday morning arrested a 42-year-old man for attempting to rape his minor daughter.

At around 6.30 pm on July 13, when her mother was working in the kitchen and her siblings were in a room, her father told her that they would have to put medicine in the injured eye of their cow. “My father asked me to bring straw. When I went to the straw room, he came from behind and grabbed my hand. He tried to force himself on me, but I escaped. When he came out, he threatened to kill me if he told me about the incident.
After about five days, he gathered courage and told his mother about it. He then decided to contact the police.
The police have registered a case against the accused for attempt to rape and under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act.
Investigating officer sub-inspector Ramandeep Kaur said, “The accused was arrested from his house on Friday morning.”
