Berhampur: Police arrested a 38-year-old rickshaw-puller for allegedly raping his minor daughter in Bada Bazar of the city on Thursday.
According to Bada Bazar police, the rickshaw-puller’s wife had deserted him four years back as he frequently tortured her and their two children in drunken condition. While their daughter is 7 years old, the son is 5 years. His wife has been staying with the two children in her mother’s house in Berhampur.

On being informed, police reached the spot and arrested the rickshaw-puller. They have admitted the victim girl in hospital, said IIC of Bada Bazar police station Prasant Bhupati.
