BHUBANESWAR: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has sought an action taken report from Keonjhar district magistrate and SP in three cases where minor girls were sexually assaulted last month. While a girl is pregnant, the second one gave birth to a baby boy last month.
In the first case, a 13-year-old school dropout girl from Keonjhar was sexually assaulted by her friend’s father. Ironically, instead of taking appropriate legal action, the father of the survivor handed over the girl to the accused. The incident happened on September 18.
