The 16-year-old told police she was repeatedly raped by the accused, who is married to her elder sister, over two months and she became pregnant. The survivor, a Class VII student at a government school, had been living with the accused in Munirka area while her sister was with their parents in their village in UP.
The incident came to light when the girl was taken to hospital after she complained of stomach pain. Doctors said she was two months' pregnant. They asked her what had happened and informed police.
