The incident highlights the ongoing crisis concerning the safety of young girls. A 14-year-old student in Jharkhand delivered a baby at Sadar Hospital in Ranchi. The girl, hailing from Basia, Gumla, was impregnated after an alleged rape by a man from her village. Fear and societal pressure kept her family from reporting the crime. To escape the stigma, the family relocated to Ranchi. The situation unfolded when the girl delivered the child. Authorities were informed, and the police initiated an investigation. The accused, Shiva Ahir, was apprehended. The victim stated that the accused had been harassing her and eventually raped her. She was intimidated into silence. Police have filed a case. Separately, this incident follows another disturbing case of gang-rape involving a minor tribal girl in Godda district on June 8th. Authorities have apprehended all the suspects in that case as well. The series of events underscores the urgent need for better protection of young girls in the region and challenges the effectiveness of existing safety measures.
