Mumbai: A 34-year-old man has been booked for allegedly molesting his 13-year-old niece in Mumbai, an official said on Wednesday.

The accused also threatened to kill the girl’s 10-year-old brother, who was playing outside their residence when she resisted the assault and tried to raise an alarm.

He said the family lives in a shack in suburban Goregaon (East).
