“He overpowered and raped the child multiple times when she was alone at home. The girl was scared of the consequences and kept quiet,” police said.

Recently, the girl fell ill and her mother took her to hospital on Tuesday.

“Tests were done and she was found to be four months pregnant. When her mother enquired, the child revealed that her brother was responsible,” police said, adding that the mother requested the doctors to get the pregnancy aborted.

The suspect was detained and during questioning, is learnt to have confessed that he was influenced by sexual content on social media platforms and adult websites.
