Kasaragod: A 13-year-old girl is three months pregnant after being sexually abused, allegedly by her father and her maternal uncle's son. Manjeshwaram police have registered two separate cases under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and arrested the two accused.

According to the police, the Class 8 girl was first sexually abused by her cousin about a year ago. The complaint says that more recently, during the Onam holidays, her father too sexually abused her.

The abuse came to light after the girl was taken to a doctor following severe abdominal pain and was found to be three months pregnant. The matter was subsequently reported to the police. During counselling, she revealed her ordeal.

The girl, who belongs to a Scheduled Tribe community, was allegedly subjected to sexual abuse on multiple occasions. Based on her statement, police registered separate POCSO cases against the two accused.
