A man has been arrested for allegedly raping his 15-year-old daughter in Sikkim’s Namchi district, police said on Thursday.
The incident came to light after the girl lodged a police complaint on September 10, accusing her father of raping her in August this year.
Police launched a search for the accused and arrested him on Wednesday while he was trying to flee, a police officer said.
A case under POCSO Act has been registered and further investigation is underway, he added.
