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.
