Teen arrested for raping minor girl
The survivor, a Class IX student, was admitted to the local community health centre by her parents on Sunday night after she complained of severe pain.
Medical examination revealed her pregnancy, and she was subsequently referred to a govt hospital.
During her transfer, she suffered a miscarriage. "She is receiving treatment for anaemia and her condition is reported to be stable," said Dr Saroj Jena, additional district medical officer (ADMO).
Jena said the foetus has been preserved for DNA testing to identify the perpetrator conclusively. The girl's father filed an FIR on Monday, alleging that his daughter had been repeatedly raped over the past six months, leading to her pregnancy.
Following the FIR, police launched an investigation and arrested the accused under Section 70(2) of the BNS and sections 4 and 6 of the Pocso Act. "The accused was produced in court on Wednesday, which rejected his bail application and remanded him in judicial custody," said investigating officer Banshidhar Pradhan.

The accused 'slapped' the CM during the Jan Sunwai event at her official residence in Civil Lines on Wednesday, August 20.

We are investigating it from all the possible angles,' Delhi Police said. Further investigation is going on. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sources told news wire PTI that the accused first gave Delhi CM Rekha Gupta some papers during the public hearing and then attacked her. Senior BJP leader Harish Khurana has told NDTV that the accused slapped the chief minister and also pulled her hair. The Chief Minister's office said in a statement, 'A person attacked CM Rekha Gupta during Jan Sunvai today. The accused has been nabbed by the Delhi Police and is being questioned.' People at the CMO privy to the incident told Mint that the attacker handed over a piece of paper to Rekha Gupta, 'started talking in a raised loud voice and also used expletives before slapping the CM.' Party president Virendra Sachdeva refuted claims of CM Rekha Gupta being 'slapped' , calling such reports 'fabricated.' He said doctors had examined Gupta and confirmed she was stable. 'This has caused some shock. I have met her, she is a strong woman. Jan Sunwai will continue. CM is resting right now but she has said that she will not cancel her programs,' he added. The Congress has condemned the incident but also questioned Delhi's governance, asking how ordinary citizens can feel safe if even the chief minister is not secure
