Chennai: 64-year-old, sons rape adopted daughter for 2 years, four held

CHENNAI: A 64-year-old man and his three sons have been booked for

sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl the man had adopted when she was

1-month-old, police said. The girl had been undergoing torture for the past

two years.

While the all-women police arrested the foster father, his two sons, and

the foster mother, a search is on for their third son. Though the survivor

revealed the ordeal to her foster mother the woman ignored it.

The survivor, who is now a college student, was adopted in 2005 as the

couple did not have a girl child. The survivor’s biological parents allegedly

had given out the youngest of their four children since they struggled to

raise all four children.

Four months ago, the girl met her biological siblings at a wedding where she collected their contact numbers. Later, she

confided in one of her brothers about the abuse she had been undergoing and left the foster parents’ house a month ago

fearing they might harm her.

The survivor recently approached police and filed a complaint. After an investigation, police arrested the couple and their two

sons aged 34 and 29 and launched a search for the third son. The arrested were remanded in judicial custody on Tuesday.

The girl has been sent to a government home for counselling and a medical examination would be conducted as per the

procedure
