A 14-year-old girl reached Bulandshahr (rural) police station with an aborted four-month-old fetus in a polythene bag to file a complaint against a man who repeatedly raped her over six months and then forced her to terminate her pregnancy at the hands of a quack. According to police, the accused, Yunus Ahmad, a neighbour of the survivor at Bhaipura village in Bulandshahr, had allegedly raped the girl six months ago. He also allegedly threatened her with dire consequences if she revealed the crime. He then continued to assault her.

On August 28, what the survivor thought was a stomach ache turned out to be a pregnancy . Her mother and brother then confronted the family of the alleged rapist, who took the girl and her mother to a quack by force and got the fetus aborted.

"The girl was taken to a local midwife of some kind, who administered some pills to her but the girl's condition worsened, after which another woman aborted the child. Some discord occurred over the fees after which there was an altercation between the woman who carried out the abortion and the girl's family . After that the 'doctor' threw the girl and her relatives out of her house along with the fetus.The girl, however, kept the fetus with her and arrived at the police station. The fetus has been sent for forensic tests," said city circle officer Dharmender Yadav

Police has filed an FIR against all the accused in the case, the health department also swung into action and sealed the house where the abortion took place.

Chief medical officer of Bulandshahr, Dr Deepak Ohri, said, "I had sent my team and got the place sealed immediately and have also ordered an enquiry into the matter."
