KANPUR: A 14-year-old girl from Auraiya has accused her grandfather, father and uncle of repeatedly raping her for about a year, police said. Acting on the complaint, police registered a case under Section 63 (rape) of the Pocso Act and arrested the accused on Thursday night.
Additional superintendent of police (ASP) Alok Mishra said, “The survivor accused her grandfather, father, and uncle of raping her for several months. Preliminary findings revealed that the girl is pregnant for two months. The named accused were arrested and presented before the court. They have been sent to jail.”
The girl reached a nearby police station with her aunt on Thursday and claimed that her parents had a dispute about a decade ago after which she moved to Delhi with her mother.
About four years ago, her father and uncle brought her back to her village from Delhi. She said that her mother passed away last year.
“For the past one year, the girl’s father, uncle, and grandfather had been raping her. She alleged that her grandfather would take her to the fields and act inappropriately, her uncle would forcibly enter her room, and her father would tie her up and assault her. When she resisted, they threatened to kill her,” a police officer said.
“When the girl became pregnant two months ago, she informed her aunt about it, but she did not help her. The girl claimed that on Dec 22, her father, uncle, and grandfather conspired to kill her after which she escaped to her aunt’s house,” the officer added. “Her aunt accompanied her to the police station where she filed a complaint against the accused. The girl’s statement was recorded and proceedings commenced against the accused persons,” he added.
