The accused, a labourer, allegedly raped the minor girl several times over the past few months resulting in the girl getting pregnant, police said.
The girl has been sent for medical examination. A rape case under IPC and other relevant sections of POCSO Act was registered and the accused was today arrested, a police official said.
City-based child rights NGO Balala Hakkula Sangham honorary president Achyuta Rao said the girl is now five-months pregnant and appealed to the Women and Child welfare officials to examine the possibilities of medical termination of the pregnancy of the girl.
