A disturbing case of sexual abuse has come to light in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, where a 12-year-old girl was found to be pregnant at a government hostel. The perpetrator, a 35-year-old vegetable vendor, has been arrested for allegedly raping the minor over a period of four months.
The girl, a resident of the government-run hostel, was subjected to this horrific ordeal by a man who was supposed to be a trusted member of the community. According of the police, the accused, identified as Raju, had been sexually assaulting the young girl since March, taking advantage of her vulnerability and threatening to kill her if she disclosed the abuse.

The police have also launched an investigation to gather further evidence and ensure that the perpetrator faces the full force of the law.
This incident has sent shockwaves through the community and raised serious concerns about the safety of children in such institutions. It underscores the urgent need for enhanced security measures and comprehensive awareness programs to protect vulnerable children from sexual predators.
