25 October 2023

PANAJI: A father and his two sons, one of them a minor, allegedly raped a 14-year-old girl who the family had adopted. The girl, who had been residing in Tiswadi taluka with the family of four — a husband, wife and two sons — was allegedly raped over the course of two years.

The incident came to light on Sunday when one of the brothers tried to touch the girl inappropriately. Police said she consequently left the house and narrated the incident to a neighbour who later called an NGO.

While narrating the whole incident to the NGO, the survivor said the abuse began in March 2021, when one of the brothers touched her chest and private parts and then had sexual intercourse with her. The father and the other son, a minor, also abused her similarly and raped her, police said. The survivor said her mother was unaware of the abuse as she used to leave the house for work. After speaking to the NGO, the girl called the police.

“Two FIRs have been registered against the father and one of the sons at Agasaim police station, and action has been taken against the third accused, the North Goa SP said.
