HAFIZABAD: A local court in the Hafizabad District of Punjab on Wednesday sentenced a man to capital punishment for raping his own daughter, reports Geo News.

The father of the accused had registered a case against his son in April 2021 for raping the daughter.

At the outset of the hearing, the accused, identified as Nasir Ali, denied the charges levelled against him, saying that his father has sued him for taking over his cattle.

The prosecutor maintained that the victim informed her grandfather about the abuse after being raped multiple times.

“The medical reports have also proved rape,” the prosecutor informed the court.
