Sri Lanka police are searching for a 47-year-old man from Kiula, in the Hambegamuwa area, who allegedly sexually abused his 14-year-old daughter and fled after investigations began.
The suspect, who is reportedly employed as a manual labourer in the area, is accused of abusing his eldest daughter, a schoolgirl who lives with her parents and two younger siblings.
Police investigations have revealed that the alleged abuse occurred when the girl was alone at home.
The investigation was launched following information received from the National Child Protection Authority.
The girl was subsequently admitted to Embilipitiya Base Hospital for a medical examination.
Hambegamuwa Police Officer-in-Charge Thushara Sampath is leading the investigation, with efforts underway to locate and arrest the suspect.
