Daughter Wants Court To Sentence Her Father To Death For Raping Her For 4 Years
An 18-year-old girl was forced to film her own father raping
her in the hope her mother would believe her and it would lead to his arrest.
Sarita Devi, from Jalaun district of Uttar Pradesh, in
northern India, had to film her father raping her on her phone after suffering
his attacks for over four years.
Sarita claimed her mother and older sister never believed
her when she told them her father had been s3xually assaulting her. She said
she was left with no option but to film the horrific incident and show the
video as proof.
Sarita said: ‘My father has been s3xually assaulting me for
four years. I always tried talking to my family about it but no one believed
me.
'I did not have any proof. I collected the proof this time
for myself to be able to raise my voice against my father. I made the video
clip on a mobile phone.
‘I am ashamed to have a father like him. I demand he is
punished for exploiting me for so many years. I don’t want him hanged but
publicly killed and beaten by the general public so that he realises how it
feels to be tortured.
‘I am relieved the truth is out. I am happy it is over. I
now want to see my father punished for what he did and try to get on with my
life.’
For a period of four years Sarita’s 53-year-old father would
force himself on her whenever they were in the house alone.
During the last incident she placed her phone on the window
and pointed it in her direction before clicking record. As soon as the assault
was over she showed it to her mother before going to the police.
The video was used as evidence in arresting him last
Thursday.
Sarita’s mother said: ‘I always went mad when my daughter
complained about her father. I thought she was making up stories about him.
'But the truth has left me shattered. I am still shocked to
believe a father could do this to his own daughter. But now my daughter has all
my support and I regret not believing her sooner.’
Station Head Officer Alok Saxena, 53, confirmed they have
arrested the father soon after Sarita filed a complaint.
Her father has confessed to his crime.
He has admitted that he has been assaulting his daughter all
these years and a case has been registered against him under Section 376
(rape), 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code and The Protection
of Children from Sexual Offences Act.’
Police added the father blamed his addiction to alcohol for
this heinous crime.
In a court hearing earlier this week Sarita bravely narrated
her ordeal and demanded the worse possible punishment for her father.
