  "account": "A 15-year-old girl gave birth in a Gurugram hospital after allegedly being raped by a 22-year-old man she met on Instagram, according to police. The incident was discovered when the girl complained of severe abdominal pain and was rushed to a sub-divisional hospital in Sohna. Her parents were unaware of her pregnancy, as there were minimal physical changes. Hospital staff alerted the police, who conducted interviews with the girl, her parents, and doctors. The victim revealed that she had befriended the suspect on Instagram almost one and a half years prior. He allegedly lured her to meet him and sexually assaulted her, forcing her to remain silent out of fear. The suspect, from Nuh, has been identified and is expected to be arrested soon. The baby's condition is stable, and he will be handed over to an NGO for adoption after the legal procedures are completed.",
  "summary": "Neither the girl nor her parents were aware of the pregnancy, as there had been hardly any visible physical changes, police said.",
