Kota (Raj):
A 23-year-old woman here has accused her father of repeatedly raping her for the last 10 years, police said on Friday.
In a complaint to Bhemganjmandi police station sent by post on Thursday, the woman has accused the father, an employee with the Indian Railways, of repeatedly raping her at home and at places where he was posted, they said.
She also has alleged that her father attempted to sexually harass her younger sister on a number of occasions, a police official said.
The woman has written that her mother knew about the conduct of her father, but was unable to break her silence as she herself was a victim of domestic violence, the official said.

He has been detained for questioning but not arrested yet, the official added.
