A DNA test has confirmed that the biological father of an unborn child carried by a pregnant speech-and hearing-impaired girl is her own father. The revelation has led to the arrest of the man and widened the scope of an ongoing criminal investigation that has now evolved into an alleged gangrape case.

DNA Testing of 17 Individuals

The case came to light when medical examinations revealed that a young speech- and hearing-impaired girl was pregnant. Following the discovery, the police initiated a criminal investigation to identify the person responsible for the pregnancy. As part of the inquiry, DNA samples were collected from 17 individuals suspected to be involved or connected to the victim.

The forensic analysis of the samples established that the girl’s father was the biological parent of the unborn child. Acting on the confirmation, the police filed a case against the man under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and arrested him.

 Investigation Expands Into Alleged Gangrape

After the arrest of the father, further interrogation and forensic evidence suggested that the minor had not only suffered sexual assault by one individual but may have been subjected to gangrape. The authorities have since intensified the investigation to uncover other possible culprits involved in the crime.

Law enforcement officials are reviewing forensic evidence, statements, and timelines to determine the extent of the involvement of others. More arrests may follow as the probe continues and authorities try to piece together the sequence of events leading to the assault.

Victim Under Medical care

The minor girl, who is both speech- and hearing-impaired, is currently under medical care and psychological counselling. Efforts are being made to ensure her safety and well-being while the investigation progresses. Child welfare officials have been notified, and measures are in place to provide appropriate legal and emotional support.

The authorities have assured that the investigation will be carried out with sensitivity, considering the victim’s age and condition. Coordination with healthcare providers, child protection units, and legal authorities is ongoing to safeguard the rights and welfare of the minor.

Legal Proceedings and Police Action

The accused father has been charged under stringent sections of the law pertaining to sexual assault, including those under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Police have also added relevant sections to investigate the angle of gangrape.

The case is being handled by a specialised unit, and officials have stated that they are pursuing all leads. Investigators are also looking into whether the girl was subjected to repeated abuse over time.

The development has raised serious concerns regarding the safety and protection of disabled minors, and the case is likely to be closely watched as it proceeds through the legal system.
