CCpur, April 17 2021:
A 15-year-old girl was found pregnant in Churachandpur's Molnom village after she was allegedly exploited by her own father and uncle.
Although the uncle has been arrested by Churachandpur women police, the father still manages to evade arrest.
The Women PS Churachandpur and Child Line is said to have acted immediately on seeing a Facebook post of the victim's elder sister that narrates the ordeal of her sibling yesterday.
The girl whose mother had passed away several months back was left to her aunt recently, and that eventually exposed the loathsome crime.
Sources said the girl complained of swollen legs yesterday for which she was taken to the district hospital.
There it was established that she was 7-8 months pregnant.
A formal complaint submitted to the police by the girl's aunt alleged that she was subjected to repeated sexual exploitation by her father, and at least on two occasions by her uncle - brother of her father.
The WPS Churachandpur after filing an FIR (No 06(04)2021 WPS-CCP u/s 4, 6& 21 of POCSO Act) arrested the uncle but the victim's father who is said to be the main accused of disgusting crime, is still at large.
The police, it is learnt, have been seeking statements from the victim's family in a bid to trace the father as his mobile number is no more in use.
