Just a month after the brutal gang-rape in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr District, a similar incident has come to light here. A teenage girl was reportedly forced to undergo an abortion by the culprit's family after being allegedly raped.

The incident took place five month ago when the victim was allegedly raped by a boy in Bhaipura village. According to the victim, the accused threatened her not to disclose the incident to anyone.

The victim was admitted in a nursing home days after the incident when her health deteriorated. It was then revealed that she was pregnant.

"I did not tell anyone out of fear. The mother of the rapist told me that she would pay me Rs 1,000 if I undergo the abortion," the girl said.

Dharmendra Yadav, a police official, said the victim told them she was raped by a person, who lives in her neighbourhood, five months ago.

"She had an abortion at the nursing home last night. We have the aborted foetus with us and have started the investigation," he said.

The police have registered a case in this regard and have also started searching for the accused. The cops have also arrested the nursing home officials for doing the abortion.

The state's health department has seized the nursing home.
