Man rapes deaf and mute girl for months, nabbed
The girl's parents are blind while her brother is deaf and mute too.
Pune: The Pune police has arrested a garage mechanic for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl, who is partially deaf and mute, over the last few months. The girl’s parents are blind while her brother is deaf and mute too. The girl’s father came to know that she had been raped after her nausea could not be healed by medication and a subsequent sonography test revealed that she was four months’ pregnant.
The mechanic was arrested for rape under IPC and relevant sections of POCSO. The mechanic resided in the same area as the girl’s family. A police officer said, “She was suffering from constant nausea and vomiting for the last 10 to 15 days. Hence, her father took her to a doctor. Despite medication, she was not getting better. Hence, the doctor asked for a sonography test which revealed that she was four months’ pregnant.”
When the girl’s father questioned her about it, she narrated the sordid experience where she was being raped by the garage mechanic nearby.
The father then approached Kothrud police station and lodged a FIR against the mechanic. The accused hails from Assam and worked as a mechanic at Sri Automobile garage near Baltarun Mandal slum.
He used to offer the girl Rs 100 to 200 whenever he spotted her outside her house. He used to then take her to a guava grove nearby or a deserted bungalow and rape her regularly. As the victim is only 16 and her parents blind, they did not realise that she was pregnant.
