LATEST
NEWS : A
10-year-old girl, who was raped by her uncle repeatedly, delivered a girl child
in a government hospital here on Thursday, hospital officials said.
The mother and child were stable, hospital sources said,
adding the newborn was in intensive care as it was underweight.
The rape
victim was admitted to the Government Medical College and Hospital in
Sector 32 for the past two days as a team of doctors monitored her health.
The delivery took place through Cesarean surgery.
The Supreme Court had last month refused to allow the rape
victim to undergo an abortion due to grave risk to her life.
A division bench of Chief Justice J.S. Khehar and Justice
D.Y. Chandrachud turned down the plea after the report of a medical board, set
up by Chandigarh's Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research
(PGIMER) on the court's orders to examine the pregnant child, warned that an
abortion would risk the girl's life.
