A 40-year-old man, who was booked last month for allegedly sexually abusing his six-year-old daughter continuously for six months in Aluva area, was on Thursday arrested.
As per the complaint lodged by the man's former wife on December 8, the minor was raped continuously for six months by her father, who used to force her to consume alcohol before committing the crime.
The incidence came to light when the child was taken to a psychiatrist by the mother following some changes in her behaviour, police said.
The child told the doctor that she was being sexually abused by her father and some others.
The minor and her younger sister are now at a Juvenile Home at nearby Kakkanad, police sources said.
