A 14-year-old girl who faced sexual assault multiple times from her father was abandoned even by her mother during the trial but this did not stop the minor from fighting for justice with the help of her neighbouring 'uncle and aunt
When she confided in her mother about the abuse she was admonished. This is when her neighbouring uncle and aunt stepped in to support her. Even in September 2023 when her father raped her again the minor girl rushed to her uncle for help. When the mother returned home and learned about the incident
However during the trial the mother went so far as to claim that the accusations were fabricated because the girl wanted to be adopted by the neighbouring aunt's family.
Despite intense cross-examination the neighbours corroborated the girl's statements. Consequently the XII additional sessions court in Nampally sentenced the 38-year-old father to life imprisonment and awarded the girl
On the night of the incident the girl escaped from her father and reported it to her neighbouring uncle who warned the accused.
Initially the survivor's mother testified that the neighbouring woman wanted to adopt the girl later she alleged the neighbour only wanted the girl to do domestic chores in exchange for better food and clothing.
The court also questioned the plausibility of the adoption claim pointing out that the neighbouring woman already had three children and was unlikely to seek another.
In his defense the accused alleged he was falsely implicated due to the family's financial hardships. "If this were true the girl could have accused her mother as well. At her age she wouldn't have the maturity to fabricate such a serious allegation
(The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme Court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
