NAGPUR: A 45-year-old man has been booked for allegedly sexually assaulting his 10-year-old daughter repeatedly over several months at their residence in the Pachpaoli area of Nagpur. The alleged abuse came to light after the girl’s mother installed CCTV cameras at home and subsequently received footage showing the accused’s alleged acts.

According to Panchpaoli police, the accused allegedly subjected her to repeated sexual assault against her wishes between August 2026 and November 9, 2026.

The mother reportedly suspected her husband’s behaviour and decided to keep a watch on the child. She installed CCTV cameras at their rented residence.

The CCTV footage was accessible live on the mobile phone of the woman’s friend. After reviewing the recordings, the friend reportedly saved the footage and showed it to the woman.

The mother subsequently questioned her daughter, who allegedly disclosed that her father had repeatedly sexually assaulted her against her wishes. The child also reportedly told her mother that the accused had threatened to kill her if she revealed the abuse to anyone.

Based on the mother’s complaint, Panchpaoli police registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 6, 8 and 12 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
