Sister, brother-in-law arrested after minor girl raped, gives birth
A 40-year-old man was arrested in Mumbai on Saturday for allegedly raping his wife's younger sister and impregnating the minor girl. Police also arrested the accused man's wife for trying to cover up her husband's crime and conducting her sister's delivery at home. The matter came to light when the girl had to be shifted to hospital. According to police, the girl and the two accused live in the same house. In her statement to police, the teenaged girl said that her brother-in-law raped her on multiple instances between March 2024 and July this year. The minor girl became pregnant and when she complained to her elder sister about this, she allegedly threatened the girl. 'The elder sister, in order to cover up her husband's crime, never allowed the girl to go out for medical checkup or treatment. She herself carried out the minor girl's delivery at home but when her condition deteriorated, she was rushed to the Bhabha hospital,' said a police source. From the hospital, police were informed about the incident. 'After the girl was stable, we recorded her statement, based on which we booked her brother-in-law and elder sister and subsequently arrested the couple,' said a sub-inspector from the police station where the complaint was registered. The minor is still hospitalised, however, the girl and her baby are stable, an officer said. Police arrested both the accused under relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) for rape and threatening. Police have also charged the victim's elder sister with concealing information of an offence, causing disappearance of evidence, and threatening the teenager.

Teen's death after questioning at police stn: Murder charges against 5 cops
Agra: An FIR was filed under BNS section of "murder" against two named and three unnamed UP cops after a 17-year-old boy allegedly died hours after visiting Nidholi Kalan police station in Chandra Bhanpur village of Etah district on Saturday morning. The teenager, Satyaveer Singh, was found dead with injury marks on his body, including his private parts, after he returned from the thana, where he had been called for questioning about the "disappearance of a girl of the same age". While senior police officers said Singh died by suicide, his family alleged he was tortured and held in illegal custody. Based on the complaint of Singh's father, Mohar Singh, a case was registered against five officers of Nidholi Kalan thana, including sub-inspectors Surendra Singh and Asif Ali, under BNS section 103 (1) (murder) late on Saturday. In the FIR, the teen's father stated, "The two SIs and their team mercilessly thrashed my son. They then left my son near our village, where on the morning of Aug 2, he was found dead." The family also alleged that the cops tortured Singh at the police station, and when his condition deteriorated, they left him 500m away from their village, where he died of his injuries. "The cops made the two of us sit outside. Then we heard Satyaveer crying; the cops were thrashing him inside. Around 5am on Aug 2, we found his body on the village outskirts with deep injury marks all over... My son had on July 31 returned home from Nashik in Maharashtra, where he was in a private job," Mohar Singh told TOI. The teen's brother Yogendra added his sibling had no involvement in the girl's disappearance and his name was not even mentioned in the FIR. Singh's autopsy report has been submitted to Etah administration and the details are yet to be revealed, the family said. SSP Etah, Shyam Narayan Singh, meanwhile, said, "Five policemen, including two SIs Surendra Singh and Asif Ali, have been attached to police lines. DSP Gyanendra Pratap Singh is probing the case. We'll take strict action if the probe findings reveal any negligence by the cops."
