A 16-year-old girl in Jaipur was found two months pregnant after allegedly being raped by her uncle and his son for over three months, said a police official familiar with the matter.
“The incident came to the fore when the girl’s family found her pregnant and took her to a hospital to abort the fetus. The accused are absconding. We will nab them soon,” said a senior police official.
Police claim that the girl was first sexually assaulted by both of the accused in October of last year when her family was not present. The officer cited the girl’s brother’s Friday FIR, saying, “Later, they raped her several times in the last three months by threatening her for life.”
He added, “The girl’s family took her to a nearby hospital on Monday after she complained of a stomachache, and they discovered that she was two months pregnant.” In order to preserve the family’s reputation, they promptly aborted the fetus.
Though the girl initially refused to talk about the incident, later she told them about the rape incident.
“After she got discharged from the hospital, the girl’s brother on Friday came to the Sadar police station to lodge the case against the two accused,” said police.
A case was filed under sections 376 D, 376 N, of the Indian Penal Code and also the relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
“The girl’s medical examination was conducted, the report of which is awaited. We will nab the perpetrators soon once the fact is ascertained. Further investigation is underway,” said the officer.
