AGRA: Etah police has registered an FIR against a 17-year-old boy for allegedly raping a three-month-old baby. The boy is at large.
In her complaint, the baby’s mother said she had left her sleeping daughter on a cloth to tie up buffaloes on the gram panchayat land under the Bagwala police station. She had asked the children playing around to keep an eye on her.
When she returned, she saw the 17-year-old, who lives in the neighbourhood, trying to calm the wailing baby. He said the baby had defecated and left. While cleaning her, she saw blood in her private parts. The baby was admitted to the district hospital in a critical condition, she said.
Raj Kumar Singh, deputy superintendent of police, said, “An FIR has been registered against the boy under IPC section 376 (rape) and provisions of the POCSO Act. Four teams have been tasked to arrest the boy. Further investigations are on.”
