Satna, Madhya Pradesh: A deeply disturbing incident emerged from a village under the Uchehra police station limits in Satna district, where an 18-year-old man allegedly raped his 4-year-old cousin.
The horrifying event took place on Monday, about 33 kilometers from the district headquarters. The accused, who reportedly lured the young girl with jamun fruit, took her to an isolated location near the railway tracks where the crime was committed, according to Satish Mishra, in-charge of the Uchehra police station.
The incident came to light when the child's cries for help were heard by some women returning from nearby fields. They promptly rescued the girl and brought her back to her family.
The Uchehra police swiftly acted to arrest the accused, ensuring that the young victim received immediate medical attention. The girl was admitted to the district hospital, where her condition is presently reported as stable.
Police have registered a case against the accused, and investigations are ongoing to ensure justice is served. This case highlights the urgent need for stronger community vigilance and child protection measures.
