SHILLONG, July 7: A case of alleged sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl by her stepfather has come to light after she underwent a medical check-up at a primary health centre, following which she was admitted to the Ganesh Das Maternity and Child Hospital here.
The survivor, admitted to the hospital on July 1, is six months’ pregnant, her medical reports state.
The incident came to light on Monday when the girl’s mother revealed that her daughter did not feel safe in reporting the incident due to alleged threats made by her stepfather.
