Overview

• Police identified the accused as Rashid, 31, a married father of two, and said he was arrested on Saturday after an FIR was registered a day earlier.
• The girl's pregnancy came to light when her family took her to a government hospital for persistent stomach pain, where an ultrasound indicated about seven months' gestation.
• Doctors at the District Women's Hospital said the child was delivered the same day and the mother's condition, initially critical due to blood loss and age, has stabilized and is improving.
• Family members alleged the accused first lured the girl to his home, recorded the assault, and used threats to force repeated sexual relations.
• Investigators collected a DNA sample from the newborn to compare with the accused as the case proceeds.
