"Once my father did the crime, he apologized to my elder sister and promised that he will not repeat the same. But he had been repeatedly raping her for years," said the younger daughter of Qureshi.
"We narrated the ordeal to our uncles who advised my sister not to make it an issue because they will be disrespected by the society. Later, my elder sister took some poisonous thing as she was forced to take such harsh step by my father. I reported the matter to police," said a the victim's sister.
She alleged that her uncles were trying to settle the issue without making it public, "but I girl stood up and spoke against all the odds despite knowing the consequences." She said that her uncles were taking her to unknown destination "may be for killing me, but somehow I managed to save myself."

Yousuf Qureshi is the elder uncle of the victim. He said
his younger brother, father of the victim, was having an illicit relationship with his elder daughter from past 5-6 years. |
