There is no tolerable way of narrating a story about a girl, who has been assaulted by her own father.

But as we live in a society that is acting as a safe haven for all sorts of crime, seeing this one too doesn't surprise us anymore.

20-year-old Khushboo Devi was privy to her father's monstrous acts.

After her mother left the family, drained from his umpteen beatings, physical assaults, harassments and the constant act of infidelity, Khushboo took hold of their family wagon, but it did not end well for her.

Her father, Manik Chandra, is accused of marrying young women and then selling them for Rs 60,000 in places like Delhi, Agra and Aligarh.

Khushboo alleges he has been doing that for as long as she can remember.

When Khushboo approached her father and warned him to stop this trade, he threw acid on her.

He knocked at her door when Khushboo was sleeping alongside her husband and their daughter, and threw acid on her face, damaging many parts of her body.

But she wasn't alone in this suffering. The liquid splashed onto husband Vinod Kumar's, 26, and daughter Trisha's faces too. However, less damage was caused to them, as opposed to Khushboo, who suffered 6 per cent burns.

In the past, Manik has tried to sell her daughter as well. He coaxed Khushboo into taking a job, where he almost sold her. He also got one of his daughters (16-year-old Anjali) married to a 50-year-old and later to a 30-year-old after he failed in the first attempt.

Khushboo is now trying to make sure her 40-year-old father gets life imprisonment for all that he has done over the years, but this isn't the first time that she has reported him.

Along with her mother, who fled, Khushboo has reported her father numerous times, but he always found a way out by bribing the local police.

In fact, Khushboo's current husband, Vinod, is also one of the many people his father owed some money, and in exchange for the amount he could not pay, he married Khushboo to him.

But Khushboo is happy with her marriage and has no complaints whatsoever with her relationship with her husband; he loves her and takes care of her.

Let's hope that Khushboo is able to find justice in her battle against her father - her supposed caretaker, who turned out to be an absolute devil.
