Mangalore, Jun 9: In more sorrow for the minor girl who was allegedly raped for a month by her father, the girl's mother was on Sunday June 8 arrested for reportedly beating her.
Vittal (44), the 15-year-old girl's father, a resident of Mulky's KSR Nagar, was arrested by the Mulky police on Friday June 6 after the girl lodged a complaint against him alleging that he had repeatedly raped her. He was sent to judicial custody for 15 days.
On Sunday, the girl's mother Revati reportedly chided her for filing complaint against her father and demanded to know why she revealed about the rape to her aunt (Vittal's sister). The girl replied that she had not said anything to her aunt, at which the mother grew furious and accused her daughter of telling lies and answering back.
Revati then allegedly slapped her daughter and beat her up with a wooden stick.
Based on the girl's complaint, the Mulky police arrested Revati.
Revati is among the two wives of Vittal. Altogether, he has five children including the victim.
