GHAZIABAD:

She told the court that she had accused him of rape following an argument in which he broke her mobile phone for not focusing on her studies.

The alleged incident came to light on September 24, 2024, when the victim's mother filed a police complaint. The mother stated that her daughter had disclosed that she was subjected to repeated abuse by her father over several months, and that he allegedly threatened her from reporting the incident. At the time, the girl was 16 years old and a student of class 9.

An FIR under relevant sections was registered the same day at Loni police station, and the accused was arrested.
