The 10-year-old victim girl was allegedly raped by her uncle repeatedly. The accused was arrested on July 14 after an FIR was registered against him on the complaint of victim's mother.
Notably, the Supreme Court had on July 28 turned down the abortion plea of the rape victim, who at that time had a 32-week-old pregnancy. The pregnancy of the victim was discovered when she complained of stomach ache in July and was taken to the hospital, where it was found that she was around 30 weeks pregnant.
