Police arrested a 45-year-old man in Maharashtra`s Palghar district for allegedly raping his two minor daughters repeatedly since 2019, an official said.

The victims, aged 6 and 12, told the police that whenever they tried to raise an alarm and resisted their father`s move, he would point a knife at them and threaten to kill them, an official at Bhoisar police station said. The man allegedly raped the two girls on different occasions when one of them was not around. This was going on since 2019 after their mother`s death, he said. The elder sisters of the two girls had got married and were living elsewhere, the victims told the police.
