Teenage Trauma: Jalandhar Girl's Baby Brings Rape Allegation to Light

A 15-year-old girl in Jalandhar has delivered a baby after allegedly being raped by a boy in Amritsar, as confirmed by local police authorities on Thursday. The case has drawn attention due to the involvement of minors and the complexities surrounding the jurisdictional procedures.

The girl's aunt filed the rape complaint after the teenager, who had been living with her in Jalandhar for several months, complained of abdominal pain. Medical checks revealed the pregnancy. The situation came to light when the girl gave birth at a local hospital.

A Zero FIR has been registered by the Jalandhar Rural police, allowing the case to be handled across different jurisdictions. The accused, a 16-year-old, has been booked under the POCSO Act. The case continues to underscore the challenging issues of adolescent safety and abuse within communities.
