JAMMU, Mar 11: In a quiet border town, behind closed doors, a monster wore the face of a father. A deeply disturbing case has emerged from RS Pura, a border-area town in the Jammu district, where a mother has come forward with a harrowing accusation against her own husband - that he repeatedly sexually abused and raped their two minor daughters, aged 11 and 6.
The woman filed a formal complaint at the local police station, alleging that her husband, Makhan Lal, had been preying on the couple's young daughters for an extended period.

The accused allegedly used intimidation to silence the girls and continue his crimes unchecked. Both children are now said to be in severe physical and psychological distress.
