Mangaluru, Jan 21: A man was arrested on Wednesday January 21 on charges of sexually assaulting his minor daughter repeatedly for the past six months.
The accused, identified as Mohammed Sukoor (47), is a resident of Maloor. It is learnt that he runs a fast food joint in the city.
Sukoor allegedly sexually assaulted his 15-year-old daughter for about six months. The distressed girl eventually confided in her school teacher, who in turn informed the child welfare committee (CWC).
The CWC officials took up the matter and approached the police.
The girl filed a complaint with Kankanady police on Tuesday January 20 and Sukoor was arrested on January 21.
He will be produced before the magistrate later in the evening. The girl was handed over to her uncle.
Further investigations are on.
