The Kadapa police have taken four persons into custody for their alleged involvement in the sexual assault of a minor girl in Proddatur, who has reportedly been found to be pregnant.
The girl belonging to the Dalit community was roaming on the streets in a state of despair, when she was spotted by a Grameena Mahila Samrakshana Karyadarsi (GMSK) or rural woman police on May 4. She was again sighted in another area on May 8 and was taken to the local police station. The police decided to leave her in a local orphanage.
