HYDERABAD: A 13-year-old girl was impregnated allegedly by her would-be father-in-law in Shamshabad. Jayaram, 40, a farmer from Pedatupra village of Shamshabad, had fixed his son Samya's marriage with the victim from the same village, a year ago. 

"After both the families agreed for the marriage, the girl started working at Jayaram's farm. He raped her seven months ago. After committing the offence, he threatened the girl not to reveal it to anyone," Shamshabad inspector Ch Anjaiah said. 

A week ago, the girl's mother noticed changes in her daughter's body and took her for medical examination. The doctors confirmed that the girl was pregnant following which she told her family about the rape. Subsequently, the girl's family approached community leaders and Jayaram agreed to marry the girl and give the family Rs 2.5 lakh. 

However, after a few days, Jayaram refused to abide by the agreement. On Tuesday, the girl's mother approached Shamshabad police. Based on a complaint, a case was booked against Jayaram under Section 376 (rape) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the victim was sent for a medical exam. A manhunt has been launched to nab Jayaram, who is absconding.
