Bulandshahr: 5 month pregnant teen forced to abort by family of rapist

After the abortion, locals took the semi-conscious victim to the police station and also carried the foetus in a polythene bag.

Bulandshahr: Just a month after the brutal gangrape in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district, a similar incident has come to the fore wherein a 14-year-old girl was forced to undergo abortion by the culprit's family after being allegedly raped.

The incident took place five months ago when the victim was allegedly raped by a boy identified as Mohammad Yunus in Bhaipura village. As per the victim, the accused threatened her not to disclose the incident to anyone.

However, days after the incident the victim was admitted in a nursing home when her health deteriorated. It was then revealed that the victim was pregnant.

"I did not tell anyone out of fear. The mother of the rapist gave me Rs 1000 to undergo abortion and warned me to remain quiet for the sake of family honour," the victim said.

According to reports, after the abortion, locals took the semi-conscious victim to the police station and also carried the foetus in a polythene bag.

Dharmendra Yadav, a police official, said the victim told them that she was raped by a person, who lives in her neighbourhood, five months ago.

"She had an abortion at the nursing home last night. We have the aborted foetus with us and have started the investigation," he said.

The police have registered a case in this regard and have started searching for the accused. The cops have also arrested the nursing home officials for doing the abortion. The state's health department has seized the nursing home.
