Minor girl raped, parents discover her pregnancy, police swings into action
A 13-year-old girl from Farrukhabad, Uttar Pradesh, has allegedly become pregnant after being raped by a government school peon, according to the police. The incident occurred several months ago, and an FIR has been lodged against the accused peon, Pankaj, and his alleged accomplice, Amit.
According to the complaint filed by the victim's family, the girl had gone to defecate at night when Pankaj and Amit caught her and took her to an empty house. Amit allegedly raped her while Pankaj stood outside and kept watch. The accused reportedly stuffed a cloth in the girl's mouth during the assault and threatened to kill her if she complained.
However, when the girl became five months pregnant, her mother discovered the matter and approached the local police. An FIR has been lodged against the accused on charges of rape and under provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
Pankaj, the accused peon, had reportedly obtained the job as a dependent of a deceased person. The police have conducted an initial medical check-up on the girl, but no arrests have been made yet. The authorities have assured that arrests will be made soon in the case.
