Child Rights Commission serves notices on Project Directors of WD&CW Dept. in Andhra Pradesh

The State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) served notices on the Women Development and Child Welfare (WD&CW) Project Directors of Eluru and NTR Districts, in the cases related to impregnating of two siblings by their stepfather in Pedapadu mandal and tonsuring of nine girls of Vijayawada Bala Sadan (Government Home).

The stepfather allegedly impregnated his elder daughter when she was 13 years old in 2019, with the help of his wife. The couple aborted the girl’s pregnancy then. However, she was impregnated again and gave birth to a female baby in 2021, when she was 15 years old.

The younger daughter of the couple was impregnated in October 2022 when she was 16, and she gave birth to a stillborn (male) baby. The accused threw the body in a canal, according to the police.
