Udupi: Father Charged with Raping Daughter, Arrested

Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (SP)

Udupi, Mar 16: A father from Malpe, who has been charged with raping his teenaged daughter repeatedly since a year, was arrested by the policemen of Malpe police station near here on Monday March 15. He has been identified as Sheshappa Bhandary (41), who runs a hair dressing saloon in Malpe.

Bhandary’s daughter, who happens to be a tenth standard student, fell down while attending the class on Monday, due to nausea and giddiness. When she was referred to the doctor, it was found that she was in the family way. Allegedly, the girl was being raped by her father repeatedly since about a year. After the neighbourers, who came to know about this development, informed the policemen, the police personnel arrested Bhandary.

Superintendent of police, Pravin Madhukar Pawar, and other senior police officers visited Malpe. Investigations are in progress.

    Disgusting act by a father. A father is supposed to protect his daughter all the time. Only a mentally sick person can commit such an act. But there is no forgiveness for this. This fellow should be hung in public or stoned to death. Religion of this person has got nothing to do in this matter. Good and evil exists in the followers of every religion. We have not heard this kind of act for the first time. Last year, in north India two minor daughters who had just lost their mother due to cancer, and were staying with the father were repeatedly raped by their father.

    They had no relatives in that city to complain about it. This issue cannot be discussed with everybody and anybody by the victims due to various social reasons. These things are not common but definitely occur in our society irrespective of caste, religion or geographical location. In most of the cases the victims have no mother.
    The only sensible solution would be in every school at least once a week there should be a special session by a teacher / Principal and build confidence in the girls to complain to their teachers against any molestation or any kind of misbehaviour by family members or outsiders. They should convince all the girls that school authorities are always there with them to help them. The school should take the help of social organizations. Then the victims will come forward and talk to their teachers instead of suffering silently.

Because of 9/11, so, do u support the cowardly acts of the real terrorist of 9/11. I am not defending bush. Let us see the reality. Why do you think there are so many terrorist activities going on in India. Because, our neighbor want us to fight and sorry to say our own people are the local supporters for them.

    This is a sickness that exists in all socities. Incest does occur and perhaps occurred before. It is only now that it is coming out into the open. This has nothing to do with any religion. This is more an environment issue or a sickness. I have seen young people have incestious relations with their cousins ( first from both parents side ). I do know in certain communities, uncles daughter is fine but not aunt's daughter.. regardless.. this concept still creeps into the category.

    However, In this case if a father resorts to this then what can the daughter do. I agree with all the folks here that this is disgusting and this should be one of the social issues that needs to be debated and discussed in schools too so that the children have the information and makes them understand and identify the people whom they can reach out to in such a situation.

    Cool, don't bring any communal colour to it. We should accept that there are good & bad people with in us. Family members should always watch out for the strange behaviour of their offspring specially daughters. Immediately keep forcibly asking for the reason of their withdrawal syndrome. Even school should identify such child and take them to the councilor or the headmistress.
    Sexual behaviour of a character changes once they find an opportunity or they are out of sense like with the influence of alcohol & drugs. It is better a teenage girl always dress modestly and it is better to avoid wearing jewelleries by them.

    I agree with many who told religion has nothing to do with this. If that was the case, if most terrorists in this world are followers of a particular religion, it does not mean that that religion preaches terrorism nor that all followers of that religion are terrorists. I didnt mean to hurt anyone's sentiments. I have respect for all religions and above all humanity.Let us stop fighting in the name of religion and blaming one another.

    Religion has nothing to do with sex.May be certain food & beverage intake sometimes may enhance the capacity of a person.
    Some years back i read an article in which it says in Manila(phillipines) alone more than 75% of girls under 16 are abused either by father,brother,uncle,relative,or a neighbour.
    Now say where is religion.Simply don't show your anger on everything without analysing the social problem.Shesappa Bhandari is only an example.God knows how many such Bhandari's are hidden inside.It is just a tip of an iceberg.Any comments?

    It is one of the most heinous crimes of the mankind and need to be dealt with appropriate response/action. Violent response or any kind of brutal punishment will neither undo the done nor will prevent from happening in the future.

    Terror or Rape or any other crime does not belong to any particular community or religion but certainly the deeper knowledge of our divine scriptures will minimize/prevent such crimes. I would not blame the girl for what happened as there can be several reasons for her silence such as family prestige, pressure from offender, fear of society or even getting used to forced pleasure. Compasionate healing would be the right way forward if both the victim and the convict repent.

    It's just a case of inhuman behaviour. Somebody may be Hindu, Muslim or Christian by name, but unless and untill the religion creates eternal Piousy (Taqwa) and fear Almighty in him, he is as good as animal. These kind of shameful acts are not new, but due to the fastest communication means, it gets publicity.

    Also this is not limited to any particular community or society. This is bcoz the humanity is ruuning after materialistic benefits and spirituality is losing its importance in our hearts and minds. So no wonder if our behaviour turns out to be worse than animals.

    Better not to point fingers at any religion. This has nothing to do with religion irrespective of which religion Mr. Bhandary belongs. This is mostly from the upbringing from the family. Might be when Mr. Bhandary was young boy, he might have been abused by his male or female who were might be elder to his age. Never know.

    Best thing to make arrangement to stay his daughter in the ladies hostel. She requires counseling and guidance. Always one’s neighbour is one’s family support and strength irrespective of religion.

    Are we hearing something new? I guess, we aren't! Girl abuse has been going on in and around us for long. Sheshappa Bhandary is not the only monster we have in our neighbourhood. Be sure that there are quite more similar cases. However, most of the times they escape because, even when the issue is brought to the notice of the mother or family members, they ask the young one to shut her mouth, fearing social untouchability.

    The society we live in is so hostile that most of the times we blame entire family for the crimes of one individual just as we hold entire community responsible for some black sheep which create nuisance in the society. There are so many girls who have been sexually abused. Ask some of the counsellors in Mangalore or Udupi. You will get the facts out on the condition of anonymity.

    It is not only the father but even other male members of the family too are into these kind of things, mind you, not only among Hindus but among Christians, Muslims and all others. Poverty is neither the justification as many an affluent too go through these kind of things, not somewhere in North India, but very much in our Dakshina Kannada, the so called district of intelligent people.

    We have so intelligent people that most heinous crimes against the humanity are swept under the carpet here almost everyday. Girls go through this ordeal silently, just because their family happens to be a prestigious one or their parents have a good name in religious and social circles!!

    Mr Aboo backer/Muscat, its not only most of hindus but also most of the muslims dont know whats there in their holy books. Christians by and large have a very good system of imparting the tenets of their scriptures to their young ones, see how cultured and peaceful they are. You must have read in the recent past that father has raped her own daughter in saudi arabia, which is craddle of islam.

    You will find black sheeps in all followers of all religions. This is due to the ignorance and lack of spiritual input. These black sheeps only run after material life and enjoyment, breaking all bondages. Neither here I have pointed my finger to any one community nor I do that. Here you have misconceived my comments.

    If all hindus, muslims and christians or any others read and practice whats written in their holy books, then we would have been more happiers and there would have been all order in the society. We have police, courts, judiciary, fines, punishment, all due to the non practicing of the teachings of our own religions. Lets not give any communual tag to this stray incident. I call upon Mutalik and his followers to educate his erring brothers and teach them what the culture of land demands.
