According to The Times of india, the girl's father attacked his 25-year-old neighbour after the man broke into his house drunk at around midnight and tried to molest his wife.
The next day, the battered and bruised neighbour reported the 'assault' to elders in his village in eastern India's Bokaro district - and they permitted him to rape the girl as revenge.
The elders passed the horrifying sentence after deciding the girl's 'violent' father had to be punished.
The newspaper said the 25-year-old dragged the girl into bushes a short distance away and raped her, against the cries of the child's mother.Police told the newspaper that an hour later, the mother retrieved her daughter from the bushes, where she was found lying in blood.Other villagers were reportedly too frightened to intervene in case they became targets themselves.
However, police have released conflicting information on the alleged incident.
According to the Hindustan Times, officers said the girl was 14 years old, not 10, and that she was the sister of the attacker, not his daughter.
