A 16-year-old girl became pregnant after being sexually assaulted by a youth in Bhopal, India, according to reports. The incident occurred in May, but only came to light when the girl's mother took her to a hospital in Nagpur after her health deteriorated. Doctors confirmed the girl was pregnant during her visit to the hospital in Nagpur.
The Nagpur police counselled the minor and recorded her statement, after which a case was registered against the suspect under rape, the POCSO Act, and other relevant provisions. The case diary was then handed over to the Nishatpura police, who have launched a search for the suspect.
The girl originally hails from the Raisen district and her family works as labourers in road construction. In the summer of 2026, the family moved to Bhopal for work and lived with other labourers in a makeshift shelter in the Nishatpura area. During this time, the girl befriended a local youth who made promises of marriage and sexually assaulted her multiple times.
The family later relocated to Nagpur for work purposes. When her health declined in Nagpur, the girl's mother took her to a hospital, where the pregnancy was discovered.
