KOHAT: The police on Monday arrested a man for allegedly molesting his teenage daughter for four years and subjecting her to torture.

SHO Cantonment Amjid Hussain said the victim, 14, along with her mother came to the police station and got registered a case against her father, Sultan Mehmood.

The victim recalled that once when she was 10 years old and her mother had taken her little sister to hospital, her father started using bad language and asked her to remove clothes.

“He threatened to sell me if I disclosed the matter to anybody,” the girl told the police.

Afterwards, her father repeatedly molested her, the victim said, adding she decided to disclose the matter to her mother when her father started beating her up badly.

The SHO said the victim had been sent to the KDA Teaching Hospital to get her medically examined.
