A 28-year-old man was arrested in Uttar Pradesh’s Fatehpur for allegedly raping his minor cousin, resulting in pregnancy, police said on Wednesday.
According to them, the crime allegedly took place seven months ago in the Fatehpur’s Malwan area. The pregnancy was detected after the 14-year-old girl underwent an ultrasound, they said.
