A 13-year-old boy was booked for allegedly raping and impregnating his 15-year-old sister in Mumbai on Sunday. The police were notified about the case after the Vashi General Hospital reported a medico legal case (MLC) when the parents visited the hospital to terminate their daughter’s three-month-old pregnancy.
According to a Hindustan Times report, the girl, in a statement to the police, said her younger brother raped her after they watched porn together. A police officer involved in the investigation said they tried to have sex for the first time in December last year but failed.
“But in the following month (January), the boy allegedly raped her even as she had asked him not to. The matter was finally disclosed to the mother after the victim missed her monthly cycle,” the officer was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying.
The boy was booked under sections 376 (rape) and 376(2)(n) (repeatedly raping the same woman) of the Indian Penal Code, and sections 4, 6, 8 and 12 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The case has been transferred to the Khandeshwar police and the Child Welfare Commission will decide the further course of action.
