  "account": "A 13-year-old tribal girl from Kasaragod in Kerala has been found three months pregnant, allegedly after being sexually abused by her father and cousin, according to police reports. The incident came to light when the girl visited a doctor due to severe abdominal pain, leading to a medical examination that revealed she was pregnant. The police registered two cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and arrested her father and cousin. The girl alleged that her cousin had sexually abused her around a year ago, and later claimed that her father had abused her during the Onam holidays. Police said they are investigating the incident further based on her statements, which were collected during counselling.",
