“The boy raped her on several occasions over the last four months. Once, he even tried to force-feed her rat poison, but the girl managed to escape somehow. She never spoke about it to her parents as the accused had threatened to kill her and her mother. Finally, her months-long ordeal came to light on Wednesday when she collapsed,” a Manpada police officer told the leading daily.
