The case was officially registered on Friday after a counsellor at a local private school, where the 15-year-old victim is a Class 9 student, lodged a formal complaint. The issue came to light when the student confided in the school counsellor about the alleged abuse by her mother.
In her distressing account to the counsellor, the teenager reportedly stated, “My mother used to sexually harass me, claiming she was teaching me how I should behave with my husband after marriage.”
The victim alleged that this pattern of harassment had been occurring for the last six years. According to police, the accused mother works for a private firm and lives apart from her husband. The daughter attends a school located near their home.
