Two minors raped for over 18 months, one pregnant
Two minor girls were allegedly raped by two co-workers of their father at a dairy farm in Rajasthan’s Alwar district, police said on Monday.
The Alwar police have lodged an FIR in this connection. The abuse had been going on for over the last year and a half. The matter came to light when the father took one of the girls to see a doctor.
Talking to journalists in Alwar, the father said, “When I returned from the market I found her unwell and lying on the bed. I looked at her stomach and asked about it but she couldn’t tell me anything. When I took her (to the hospital) the nurse told me about the 7.5 month-old-child.”
“I don’t know for how long this was going on. They (the accused) used to threaten my daughters saying that they would chop them,” he said.
The daughter said, “I was lying on the bed the other day and my father took me to see a doctor. That’s when my father and I got to know that I am bearing a 7.5 month old child.” She said that the abuse has been going on for about a year and a half. “They used to threaten and say that if you tell your parents about the issue we would cut and kill you,” she said.
