In a disturbing incident that has shaken Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh, a minor girl has been accused of hacking her father to death after allegedly suffering years of sexual abuse at his hands. The tragic event unfolded in the quiet village of Kosi Kalan, revealing a harrowing tale of desperation and survival.
The Night of Violence
According to police reports, the incident occurred late Tuesday night when the 45-year-old father returned home in an inebriated state. What began as another night of terror for the young girl ended in fatal violence when she allegedly seized a sharp weapon and attacked her father multiple times.
A History of Abuse
Preliminary investigations have uncovered a pattern of horrific abuse spanning several years. "The minor revealed during questioning that her father had been sexually assaulting her since she was 12 years old," stated Mathura Superintendent of Police (Rural) Martand Prakash Singh. "The mother was aware of the situation but felt helpless to intervene."
Family Dynamics and Complicity
The case reveals complex family dynamics that allowed the abuse to continue unchecked. The victim's mother, who works as a domestic helper, admitted to police that she knew about the ongoing assaults but claimed financial dependency and fear prevented her from taking action.
Police Response and Legal Proceedings
Local authorities have registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act against the deceased father. Meanwhile, the minor has been taken into custody and produced before the Juvenile Justice Board. Police are conducting further investigations to understand the complete timeline of events.
Community Shock and Reaction
The incident has sent shockwaves through the small community, with neighbors expressing both horror at the crime and sympathy for the minor's plight. Many described the family as keeping to themselves, with few suspecting the nightmare unfolding behind closed doors.
As the legal process moves forward, the case raises difficult questions about child protection systems, family intervention mechanisms, and the extreme circumstances that can drive a minor to such desperate measures.
