BHOPAL: The police arrested a man on charges of raping his minor niece for over three months at Lalaria village and a manhunt has been launched to nab a government gynaecologist, who allegedly provided drugs to the victim to terminate her pregnancy. The incident that had taken place in December last year was reported on Wednesday when the girl unfolded the miseries to her mother.
Police have launched a manhunt for nabbing the gynaecologist identified as Vibha Jain, who is posted at Berasia hospital.
Police said the 14-year-old girl is a resident of village Lalaria. The incident had taken place in December last year.
The victim was alone in home when her uncle, Qayyum Khan, 34, came there and allegedly raped the minor girl. The accused threatened the girl with dire consequences if she revealed the incident to anyone.
Police said the accused allegedly raped the girl repeatedly after the December incident and when the victim became pregnant, he took her to a government hospital in Berasia for aborting the pregnancy.
"On the pretext of taking the girl to relatives, the accused took her to a gynaecologist, Vibha Jain, who unlawfully prescribed medicines to abort the pregnancy and reportedly charged Rs 3,500 as fee. The incident came to the fore when the victim fell ill two days back. She narrated the entire incident to her mother, who immediately approached the police and lodged a complaint against Qayyum and the doctor, Vibha Jain," said investigating officer Gopal Chouhan.
The police have registered a case under Section the 376 (rape), 506 (criminal intimidation), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence ) and 312 (causing miscarriage in the incident) of the IPC.
Qayyum Khan has been arrested and efforts remain underway to nab the gynaecologist, who is posted at Berasia hospital, the police added.
