Once<\/strong><\/span> again a rape incident has shook the conscience of people. This time it is the father who raped his step daughter, the father was HIV infected. HIV is a serious disease which can kill people, the dilemma in this case whether he can be charged for attempt to murder. And another issue involved is inducing miscarriage without woman\u2019s consent.<\/p>\n

Judge Lau framed charges for the offence of rape, attempt to murder and inducing miscarriage without woman’s consent against the accused whose trial will begin on July 16.<\/p>\n

The court charged him for the offence of causing miscarriage without a woman’s consent observing that he had given his step-daughter tablets leading to her miscarriage.<\/p>\n

The court said: “It is evident that the accused himself is HIV positive and had committed rape upon his step-daughter, thereby, infecting her with the same life threatening HIV\/AIDS deliberately with the intention or knowledge that under such circumstances, if by his act, the victim’s death is caused, he would be guilty of murder.”<\/p>\n

The court also charged the victim’s friend Ashutosh Maurya with rape charging him of raping the girl at her house in north Delhi’s Shalimar Bagh village between April-August 2011.<\/p>\n
