Mumbai man arrested for raping, impregnating hearing-impaired daughter
A 50-year-old man has been arrested by the Cuffe Parade police in Mumbai after DNA tests linked him to the fetus; police allege he raped and impregnated his 20-year-old daughter, who is speech- and hearing-impaired.
The abuse happened between March and September 2025, leading to her pregnancy.
The truth came out when the young woman told her grandmother about stomach pain in September.
17 DNA samples collected
Doctors at Cama & Albless Hospital confirmed the pregnancy and alerted police.
Investigators collected DNA samples from around 16-17 suspects; only the father's DNA matched the fetus, leading to his arrest after the forensic report, under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act.
Two other people—an adult and a minor—were also detained as part of ongoing investigations.
Meanwhile, the victim's two mentally challenged siblings have been moved to a shelter home for their safety.
