Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (DV)

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.

    The girl is a juvenile. The adult here is the father. The father who is supposed to protect his daughter ends up sexually assaulting her. Please do not insult the victim by blaming her. Ignorant comments like why did she not come forward before is unnecessary. A 15 year old is a school going child. The adult is at fault . Abuse victims get barely any support in India. Even when the victim notifies family of rape or abuse, the family is more concerned about the society than the victim and try to hush it up. Imagine how distraught this child was to finally reveal the abuse to her teacher.

    Incest cases are not new in India , looks girl consensually had a affair so she can be equally blamed for spoiling sacred relationship of father and daughter. Moreover girls reporting to school teachers about the abuse and then child help line is prone to mis use. Malicious wives can use this as a weapon to trap innocent husbands. Now the above man being bread winner of family , let him get free food in jail and ' alleged ' daughter and his wife has to work hard and earn their lively hood.

    While condemning the accused, it has now become a defacto standard in almost ever female's complaint to club either rape/molestation/dowry/physical harassment/promise of marriage etc. etc. with the main issue to make the complaint very potent, all due to gender biased laws and man being always termed the culprit and the female a Godess!! Jai Hind!!

    I condemn the comments of both Braganza and Rudolf.

    There is nothing in the news item to suspect the intentions of the girl, for Braganza to put the blame on the girl.

    It is like putting salt on the wound. Do not do it.

    Any 15 year youngster, especially, girls are wholly dependent on their parents for all their requirements.

    If father himself exploits them, it is natural that they take some time to come out this shock, before approaching some one whom they feel confident.

    If you feel law has to decide the case, then do not comment on the integrity of the girl also.

    In your comment, you have specifically used the word, "looks girl consensually .....", which is not a general comment.

    Of course there are incidents where woman have exploited men, but this particular incident does not fit for a general comment, as the victim is a minor and deserve sympathy.

    Sincere request pls watch today's episode of CODERED on colours at 10.30 pm showing how children are used by mafia,police in begging. the only way to stop this menace is to stop giving money to child beggars which ultimately goes to culprits and they may bring more children in begging. I am sad none of the govt is taking notice of this and putting a ban on child begging,child labour. this every Indian should know not to give money pls. spread the message from rich,middleclass to poor only way to stop child begging becos govt. will never ban looks like. Children are the future of our Country and they should be protected.

    Dear Kumar,

    No biological daughter would ever dare to accuse her father with charges of sexual assault and rape.

    I think this guy (animal) could be a drug addict, alcoholic and pig.

    The best punishment is chop his organ from the base without anesthesia.

    On looking these kind of scenario espcially in recent times feels like law that prevails in gulf countries must be implemented in India also... But is too scared that the innocent will also be the victims....

    HE must be banned completly from contacting with the people/ community and also the place which he is living although he is proved innocent.

    Just like how vatican had banned one of its priest a few days back... inspite of the fact that he was proved innocent by the court.

    dear daiji readers,

    please dont comment in hurry.

    let there be a proper investigations.

    who is he, how many wives he had/has, is the victim is his biological daughter, why the victim did not inform mother, but teacher ....

    if the mother is alive, how it can happen to the child & that is too for six months...

    any psychiatric evaluation of the victim... what is her understanding about sexual harassment & is she mentally sound ?

    my only concern is if he is innocent, can all the comments here , will it it bring back the lost dignity, forget about cutting private parts, shock treatment,stoning to death...etc. i am asking dignity.

    please remember, he is accused, not convicted.

    and there is no point is article about his version.

    have patience, no violence. no question of any one of us taking law into the hand.

    what i expect is fastest investigation of the case & conclusion.

    if he is really the culprit, i dont have any words to write. thats it. i have nothing to say.

    but dont conclude without knowing the facts, just by reading what is written in daiji... remember, his version is not available at the moment.

    and regarding comments about his face, please respect others outlook, everybody can not look like sharuk or shahi kapoor.

    a person working as cook in fastfood outlet ( that is the profession of this accused,not convicted!!) may not be looking like film hero.

    please dont conclude. we can not become judge..

    Well said @ kumar

    I totally agree with you. Usually what happens is, the one who reads any news will directly come to a conclusion without further thinking on it.

    That's the power of media!!

    I urge everybody, no matter what news you're reading- before commenting/ coming to any conclusion, please make sure that whether the news you read is real or he/ she is a victim for somebody else's game.

    It is 100% true that,if any blame to Male. Nobody thinks about truthfulness of complaint. All decide immediately and give judgement. In one survey, number t of innocent person were in jail (including their family members) because of dowry complaints / rape etc. Therefore SC has recently amended the law to prevent innocent to avoid punishment.
