A horrific incident came to light after a 13-year-old girl became pregnant in Farukkhabad, Uttar Pradesh. The girl was allegedly raped by a government school peon, police said on Saturday. A case has been filed against a government school peon and his associate for their alleged involvement in the incident that occurred several months ago.
According to a police official quoted by PTI, the family of a 13-year-old girl has lodged a complaint against two men from their village. The girl had gone out to relieve herself in the evening when Pankaj and Amit allegedly caught her and took her to an abandoned house. Amit allegedly raped the girl inside the house while Pankaj stood guard outside.
The complaint further details that the defendants silenced the girl by stuffing a cloth in her mouth during the assault. They then threatened to kill her if she spoke. The crime came to light when the girl’s mother discovered that her daughter was five months pregnant, prompting her to go to the local police.
“So far, no arrests have been made, but they will be made soon,” the official said.
According to the police, an FIR has been registered against the accused on charges of rape and under the provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. They also mentioned that Pankaj, one of the accused, works as a labourer in a municipal school, a position he obtained as a dependent of a deceased person.
