According to the police, the accused, Narayan Meghwal (25), had come to the victim’s house in Leta Village with her father in the afternoon. The incident took place around 3.00 pm, when the victim’s father, who had just finished his lunch -- his wife out shopping - heard his daughter’s screams and rushed inside the house for her help.
