Alot (Madhya Pradesh): A 16-year-old mentally challenged girl was allegedly raped and impregnated in Madhya Pradesh's Alot.
According to reports, the young girl began experiencing severe stomach pain, prompting her family to take her to the hospital. The doctors, during the examination, discovered that the girl was pregnant and due for delivery any time soon.
In the wake of this distressing event, the victim's mother filed a complaint against the unknown perpetrator, prompting local police to initiate an investigation.
According to the victim’s mother, the horrific incident occurred on February 9, 2024.
At that time, she and her husband were engaged in fieldwork, leaving their mentally challenged daughter alone at home. The accused allegedly took advantage of this situation to gain entry and assaulted the girl.
Due to her mental challenges, the victim was unable to articulate her experience until recently, only complaining of severe labour pains, her family went to seek medical attention.
Upon arriving at Ratlam Medical College, healthcare professionals revealed the grim truth that the young girl was nine months pregnant and about to give birth.
This shocking discovery prompted her mother to promptly report the incident at the Alot police station.
Law enforcement has since registered a First Information Report (FIR) under Section 5L/6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and investigations are ongoing to bring the alleged offender to justice.
