A 25-year-old youth has been arrested in Sri Lanka for impregnating a 15-year-old schoolgirl after deceiving her, the ‘Mawbima’ reported.

The youth had befriended the girl during the last historical pageant in Kandy and thereafter had met her on several occasions in an abandoned house between her school and her house.

Later, the girl had told her parents that she was eight-months pregnant when the youth took her in a three-wheeler to her house where the girl’s parents handed over them to the police.

The youth was a trader in weekly fairs and the girl has been admitted to Kandy General Hospital for a medical check-up.
