Infant nails mentally-ill mom’s rapist

Published

Mumbai: The case of a mentally challenged minor girl who gave birth to a baby after being raped seems to have found a lead.

The DNA of the newborn helped police nail the suspect, according to a report in MidDay.

Last November the girl’s mother filed a complaint with police upon learning her daughter was pregnant.

The cops detained six suspects, and sent their DNA samples for forensic studies, while the victim recuperated and gave birth to a baby boy.

Early this month, police received the DNA details of the baby and the accused  - a 47-year-old autorikshaw driver -  has been arrested.

Cops resorted to DNA testing as the victim could not identify the accused from the six suspects the police had detained.
