14-Year-Old rape survivor delivers baby at Chhindwara police station while lodging complaint
Chhindwara : A 14-year-old rape survivor delivered a baby at a police station in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhindwara district. The girl gave birth to a baby boy while filing a police complaint against the accused. The incident took place at the Kundipura police station of the district on Tuesday. Both the mother and the baby were shifted to a hospital and are reportedly doing well.
The police have arrested the accused with the help of his GPS location. “We informed our seniors about it as soon as the girl had developed labour pain. They ensured that a green corridor and traffic between the Kundipura police station and district hospital was cleared. We zeroed in on the accused through mobile tower location, and he was immediately arrested,” reported The Times of India, quoting police station in-charge Purva Chowrasia as saying.
The accused was planning to flee from the district. He has reportedly been booked under section 376 (rape) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Initially, he was agreed to marry the girl but later refused. The rape survivor’s family then decided to lodge a complaint against her. The police have launched an investigation into the case.
