What seemed like an ordinary medical checkup turned into a horrific discovery after a teen revealed an heinous act done against her by her own father.
Following the troubling revelation, the girl’s father was subsequently arrested by police and is currently being remanded.
Went to clinic for gastric pain
According to Kuala Selangor district police chief Superintendent Azharudin Bin Tajudin, he said, he said the 17-year-old went to the Tanjong Karang Hospital at 6pm on Monday (July 28) for a checkup after complaining of gastric pain.
When interviewed by the doctor on duty, the teen revealed that her 51-year-old biological father had sexually assaulted her, reported Sinar Harian.
A police report was lodged by the hospital on Tuesday (July 29) at 5.07pm, which Azahar confirmed was received by police.
Remanded for 1 week
Upon receiving the report, police from the Kuala Selangor District Police Headquarters (IPD) moved swiftly and nabbed the teen’s father in the Bestari Jaya area at 10.15pm the same day.
Azahar said the suspect, who works as a masseuse, was remanded for seven days until Aug 5.
The case is now being probed under Section 376B of the Penal Code, which carries a prison sentence of up to 30 years and whipping upon conviction.
We hope the teen gets the necessary counselling and help she needs to move on from this horrific situation.
