A 13-year-old boy was booked for allegedly raping and impregnating his 15-year-old sister in Mumbai on Sunday. The police were notified about the case after the Vashi General Hospital reported a medico legal case (MLC) when the parents visited the hospital to terminate their daughter’s three-month-old pregnancy.
According
to a Hindustan Times report, the girl, in a statement to the police, said her
younger brother raped her after they watched porn together. A police officer
involved in the investigation said they tried to have sex for the first time in
December last year but failed.
“But in
the following month (January), the boy allegedly raped her even as she had
asked him not to. The matter was finally disclosed to the mother after the
victim missed her monthly cycle,” the officer was quoted by Hindustan Times as
saying.
The boy
was booked under sections 376 (rape) and 376(2)(n) (repeatedly raping the same
woman) of the Indian Penal Code, and sections 4, 6, 8 and 12 of the Protection
of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The
case has been transferred to the Khandeshwar police and the Child Welfare
Commission will decide the further course of action.
In a
similar incident, two brothers were arrested for allegedly raping their
14-year-old sister in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad, police said on Monday.
According
to police, the brothers were arrested on Sunday on the basis of a complaint
lodged at the Tila Morh police station. Two brothers raped their sister, a
class 8 student. They had been allegedly sexually exploiting her for the last
year, due to which she became pregnant, the complaint said.
The
minor girl had a stomach ache on Saturday, following which, her mother took her
to a diagnostic centre in Delhi for ultrasound, where it was confirmed that she
was 22-week pregnant, police said. One of the accused is 20 years old, while
the other is 23 years old.
