A teenage boy has been apprehended for allegedly raping and impregnating a 12-year-old relative in north Delhi, a police officer said on Tuesday.
According to a complaint filed with the police, the girl was raped by the teenage boy in November last year when he had come to Delhi to attend a relative's marriage and stayed at her house, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Sagar Singh Kalsi said.
Recently, the girl started having stomach pains and was taken to a hospital by her mother.
Her mother filed the police complaint after it emerged that she was pregnant, the police officer said.
