On Wednesday morning again, she was sexually assaulted and she found the courage and rushed to her employer while her father fled the spot. Our team is looking for him,” Suresh Mengade, deputy commissioner of police, crime branch, said.
The father has been booked under various sections of the IPC and also the relevant sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
