A special court on Thursday convicted a man for raping his 14-year-old daughter while the grandfather, grandmother and uncle of the victim were acquitted due to lack of evidence. Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) court judge Sanjiv Kumar Tiwari has fixed February 24 for quantum of punishment in the case.

According to special lawyer for POCSO Dinesh Kumar Sharma, the mother of the girl had filed a complaint with the police alleging that her husband raped the daughter when she had gone to her parents' home on July 7, 2016.

The woman had also alleged that her father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law supported the accused and did not take any step to prevent him to commit rape on his daughter, Sharma said. On Thursday, the court found the man guilty of rape on his daughter while the grandfather, grandmother and uncle of the victim were acquitted for lack of evidence, he said.
