Police in Gandhinagar arrested a 32-year-old man under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act after he allegedly raped his four-year-old daughter, India Today reports. The arrest followed a complaint and a medical examination at Gandhinagar Civil Hospital that indicated sexual assault. The child’s mother had left their home with the girl and her two-year-old son after the man allegedly molested a friend staying with them. Police said the man later took the girl from her maternal grandparents’ home. The child cried out during the alleged assault, and her aunt noticed bleeding the next morning while bathing her.
