A 28-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly raping a 12 and half-year-old girl. The incident came to light when the victim became pregnant and the accused took her to a local government hospital for a medical check-up.

Upon examination, the doctors suspected that the girl was a minor. They inquired about her age and found out that she was only 12 years, 7 months and 23 days old. This prompted the hospital staff to alert the Charkop police.
