A 16-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her father in Uttar Pradesh's Budhana town, police said.
The incident came to light after the minor became pregnant and alerted her mother, police said. Her mother filed a police complaint alleging that the accused had been sexually assaulting the minor since January this year.
The victim's mother said that the rapes had occurred when the minor was left at home alone with her father - while the mother was away at work - SHO Arun Kumar Tyagi said. The accused had threatened to kill the minor if she spoke about the rape, Tyagi said.
A case was registered against him under Section 376 (rape) of the IPC and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The accused was arrested and he confessed to his crime during interrogation, the SHO said.
The victim has been sent for medical examination.
