Both the accused and his wife, who are parents to five girls, have been arrested.

"He used to show the girls pornography and then rape them. He even took them to places like Jaipur and Agra. He booked them into hotels and then raped them. He told them if they resisted, he would do the same to their younger siblings. This went on for years from the time they were in class 7 and 8. The mother knew of the crime but she took their father's side," said Anshuman Bhumiya, Superintendent of Police, Bharatpur.
The police are now investigating if the accused attempted to rape his three younger daughters. So far, two of the elder siblings have recorded their statements with the police.
