Additional district and sessions judge Shalini S Nagpal on Saturday
framed charges against three women and a man for forcible termination of
pregnancy after rape of a mentally challenged and physically
handicapped 14-year-old girl.
The police had registered the FIR on February 23 against main accused
Vijay alias Vicky, his sister Sunita, mother Shanti, and SAS
Nagar-based doctor Rashmi Jain, under sections 376 (rape), 313 (causing
miscarriage without woman's consent), 363 (kidnapping), 366 (abducting
or inducing woman to compel for marriage), 506 (criminal intimidation)
and 120 (conspiracy).
The victim's mother, resident of Sector 56, had complained that the
teen, mentally challenged and affected by polio, had been raped by their
neighbour Vicky. The mother had found that out as, after her daughter
remained unwell for some days, she and Sunita (the alleged rapist's
sister) took the girl to a private clinic run by Dr Rashmi Jain in Phase
1, SAS Nagar, where it came to light that the girl was five months
pregnant.
Later, the girl, a student of Class 4, told her mother that she had
indeed been raped by Vicky. When the mother approached Vicky's family,
they threatened her. Then, on February 21, in the mother's absence,
Sunita and Shanti allegedly took the victim to Rashmi's clinic again and
got her pregnancy terminated.
Upon return, the victim's mother found her bleeding and took her to
the government hospital in Phase 6, where the abortion came to light and
the police were informed. The accused were arrested and the cops also
raided Rashmi's clinic to find some incriminating documents.
The case would now be heard on July 29.
