Nagpur: A 16-year-old girl was forcefully drugged and raped by an unidentified man while she was on her way to typing class three months ago.
The incident came to light on Friday when Yashodhara Nagar police registered a rape case after medical reports revealed that the girl was pregnant.
A case of rape and threatening under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act has been registered against the unidentified accused.
Police said that around three months ago, the survivor was on her way to typing class on a moped at around 8am when an unidentified person blocked her route with his two-wheeler. The accused then forcefully put a ‘white tablet’ in her mouth, took her to an isolated place and allegedly raped her.
The accused also threatened the survivor of dire consequences if she tells anyone about the incident.
When the survivor gained consciousness after some time, she headed straight to her home but did not told anyone about the incident fearing parents’ wrath.
Police said that as the survivor was not feeling well for some days, her parents took her to a hospital in Sakkardara. While treating her, the doctors came to know that the survivor is three months pregnant. Thereafter, the doctors reported the incident to Sakkardara police station.
Senior PI of Sakkardara police station, Sandipan Pawar, took cognizance of the case and reported the incident to Yashodhara Nagar police station through a ‘zero report’ as the incident took place under its jurisdiction.
According to sources, the survivor has not shared any information about the date of the incident, which helped the cops in investigating the case.
Medical check-up and counselling of the survivor is underway.
