“She was counselled by experts, but her condition worsened with time and she started getting panic attacks. On August 17, the girl was admitted in a private hospital where it was found that she was 3-4 months pregnant,” the DCW stated.
The DCW said that during the counselling, it was also found that a boy living in their neighborhood had allegedly raped her on the night of March 23.

The complainant has further alleged that his daughter was also sexually assaulted in the past by another man who was living in the building of his house in Sangam Vihar from October-2018 to January-2019.
“The Commission has been informed that an FIR under section 376 IPC and 6 POCSO has been registered at Ambedkar Nagar police station in the matter.
