Shocking Incident in Haryana
In a disturbing incident, a 16-year-old mentally challenged girl was found to be six months pregnant during a body exam conducted by the district’s child welfare committee in Haryana.
Police Investigation
The matter was brought to the attention of CWC chairperson Umesh Kumar, who termed it a “heinous crime” and filed a police complaint regarding the incident. The Karnal police stated that they have already apprehended a suspect in connection with the alleged rape.
Girl’s Situation
The victim, aged around 16 or 17, is currently under the care of the CWC, as informed by Kumar. The girl’s family had not reported the incident to the police earlier due to fear. The victim’s mother revealed that they belong to a poor family and were threatened by the perpetrator.
Discovery and Medical Examination
Kumar encountered the girl consuming soil on a Sunday and noticed abnormal symptoms, prompting him to investigate. It was discovered that she was mentally challenged and visually impaired. Further questioning revealed that the girl had been gangraped, resulting in her pregnancy.
The CWC immediately arranged for a medical examination to be conducted by the Karnal chief medical officer and his team. The investigation is ongoing to determine the full extent of the girl’s health condition.
