In a case where a 22-year-old accused her father of molestation State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) chairperson Usha Negi said that more awareness is needed in the society it can rise above such a heinous mentality.
Talking to the Pioneer, Negi said, “The incident is very disheartening.
It is important that more and more awareness is needed in the society so that every section can uplift from such a mentality.”
It is important to mention here that a 22-year-old wrote a letter to Usha Negi accusing her father of molestation, abuse and beating. She also stated that even after a complaint was registered by her against her father in December last year, the problem has remained the same.
The accused father not only forced himself on the girl but also use to abuse and beat her mother as well.
Taking action on the letter, a team from SCPCR rescued the girl on Thursday evening from her house in Majra area of Dehradun.
Adding more in this Negi said, “The girl was rescued and has been sent to a hostel under our supervision.
A complaint has been registered in Patel Nagar police station and the police have arrested her father on Thursday.
As she is 22 and the decision where she would live now is up to her however appropriate steps will be taken in the case for the protection of the girl.”
