A Pakistani court has awarded the death sentence to a man for raping his 15-year-old daughter.
Additional sessions judge Tahir Khan Niazi handed down the capital punishment after the charge against Khalid Amin was proved.
Complainant Parveen Bibi lodged an FIR with Kahna police, accusing her former husband of raping their daughter `N` for one month in 2009.
Ameen had divorced Parveen in 2008 and `N` along with another sister and four brothers was living with her father.
The girl testified that her father raped her for at least one month. She said her father had been threatening her to kill her brother if she disclosed his act.
A relative informed Parveen about the incident on which she quizzed her daughter, who confirmed that she had been raped by her father.
