Baripada: Betnati police of Mayurbhanj have apprehended a 15-year-old boy for allegedly raping his hearing-and-speech impaired nine-year-old cousin.
The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon when they were alone in the house. The girl has suffered external and internal injuries.
The incident came to fore after the doctor of a local community health care centre called the police after seeing bleeding and injury marks in the private parts of the girl.
The girl was brought to the heath care centre by a relative. She was later shifted to PRM Medical College and Hospital, Baripada, as her condition deteriorated.
Inspector in charge of Betnati police station Gobinda Chandra Behera said: "The accused committed the offence when there was no one else in the house. The accused has confessed to committing the crime. A case has been registered under relevant sections of Indian Penal Code and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act following the information from the hospital doctor."
The accused will be produced before the Juvenile Justice Board.
In another incident, Badasahi police arrested a 24-year-old youth for allegedly raping his 15-year-old sister-in-law.
The accused was forwarded to court. He had married the sister of the rape survivor about six months ago. The girl's father lodged a police complaint upon coming to know about the incident.
Investigating officer of Badasahi police station Jay Narayan Khandei said: "The accused was forwarded to court after being booked under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code and relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act."
