The State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) questioned the staff of the village sachivalayam, Primary Health Centre (PHC), and the Women Development and Child Welfare (WD&CW) Department of Eluru district, over the alleged negligence in the case related to the sexual abuse of two minor girls by their stepfather in Vatluru village.
The accused, with the connivance of his wife, was sexually abusing the girls for the last five years at their home. The elder daughter was impregnated for the first time in 2019, when she was 13 years old, and the pregnancy was terminated. She was again impregnated by her stepfather in 2021, and this time she gave birth to a female baby.
Her younger sister, aged about 15 years, delivered a stillborn baby at home, and the accused reportedly dumped the body in a canal.
