A 13-year-old girl got pregnant after allegedly being raped repeatedly by her brother-in-law, who is a PhD scholar at Jawaharlal Nehru University and lives in South Delhi, the police said.
The accused has been arrested after a case was registered against him under POCSO Act and Section 376 of IPC, they said.
The incident came to light when the victim was taken to a hospital after she complained of stomach ache. When the doctors found that the girl was two months pregnant, they informed the police.
