Imphal, July 27 2015:
In yet another abhorrent incident, a two and half year old infant has been allegedly raped by her 15 year old cousin brother.
Addressing a press meet today at Manipur Press Club, father of the victim girl said his daughter has been raped repeatedly by a juvenile cousin, a resident of Kiyamgei area in Imphal East district.
He said the rape incident came to light on July 7 last.
The victim girl was first reported to have complained of pain in her private part when she was left under the care of the accused mother when her parents went to Delhi last year for treatment, he said.
When the parents returned home from Delhi in November last year, the girl complained of the pain in her private part.
Her complaints used to stop whenever she was attended by her parents.
But she used to complain of the pain whenever she went to her cousin's place, the father said.
During night time, the girl used to narrate how she spent the day with the accused at their house.
She also frequently mentioned his name, he said.
Suspicious of the conduct of the accused, the girl's parents closely observed the behaviour of the suspect.
On July 7, the victim complained of pain in her private part when her mother tried to bathe her after taking her from the accused house.
On being examined, her mother found that her private part was swelling.
Irate father of the victim confronted the accused immediately and in a fit of rage slapped him once.
The parents lodged a complaint with Imphal East women PS the next day.
The Imphal East women police took the accused into their custody on July 9 and kept him at a juvenile observation home.
The matter was also reported to local clubs and meira paibi organisations.
The father appealed to the authority concerned to give fitting punishment to the accused.
