Police on Wednesday arrested a 55-year-old coolie for allegedly sexually assaulting his daughter, now 22, for the past six years. The woman revealed the trauma to a colleague after she recently visited a private hospital for an abortion. Later, she approached police.

Police said the woman has eight siblings. Her ailing mother is mentally ill and her father is the sole breadwinner of the family.

Recently, the woman got a job at a private firm. There she confided her plight to her colleague and later lodged a police complaint.

Her ordeal started in Pune where her father had moved to work as a housekeeper six years ago. According to the woman’s complaint, on the first occasion, after sexually assaulting her while drunk he pleaded guilty and asked her not to reveal it to anyone. As the woman stayed silent, her father continued to abuse her.

He would take her to private hospitals for abortion and also give her contraceptive pills. Five years ago, they came to a village near Sriperumbudur and settled.

The woman told police she kept it a secret for so long as she feared her father might also harass her sisters. Police have registered a case. They arrested the man and a court sent him to prison.
