"This was happening for some time and there used to be ruckus in their home over this. The neighbours were unhappy over this and filed a complaint and we arrested the man," a police official at the Pala police station near here told IANS.
The head of the family works as a casual labourer and is reported to be an alcoholic.
The accused - who at times used to work in a hotel at Pala - has confessed to the crime, he said.
