NEW DELHI: A man has been arrested for allegedly repeatedly raping his daughter. The 37-year-old man, employed with a private company, was held after his wife, a primary school teacher, complained to cops. A medical examination of the 13-year-old girl, a resident of RK Puram, has confirmed rape, sources said.

According to sources at the Sarojini Nagar police station, the victim's mother noticed something amiss with her daughter as the girl was avoiding the father and keeping to herself. Questioned, the girl said the father had been raping her for the past fortnight in the mother's absence.

A rape case has been filed and cops are probing "how long he had been carrying on with the physical abuse", said the investigating officer.

Last year's statistics show cases of rape and molestation have risen significantly compared to 2010. Commissioner B K Gupta has said almost 98% of the rape offenders are known the victims.
