According to the police, the man, a driver by profession, had sexually assaulted, abused and threatened to kill his minor daughters, following which one of the daughters complained to the police.
The 14-year-old daughter had fled from the house, following which the accused lodged a missing report. After police located her at the Nerul railway station, she alleged her father of repeatedly sexually molesting her and her 13-year-old sister.
“A driver living in the Ulwe area of NRI police station area had sexually assaulted his two daughters, abused them and threatened to kill them.
