Pune, June 23 (PTI) – Pune police have arrested the father, uncle and a cousin of a 13-year-old girl for allegedly raping her repeatedly, an official said on Sunday.

The crime came to light after the teenager recounted her ordeal in a class on “good and bad touch” at school, he said.

According to police, the survivor’s cousin raped her in July 2023 and threatened her with dire consequences if she told anyone about the attack.

In January 2024, her uncle allegedly sexually abused her. “When the girl resisted her uncle’s advances and tried to scream, he allegedly gagged and beat her,” a police officer said.

He added that the girl’s father had also repeatedly sexually abused her.

While her father and uncle are in their forties, her cousin is in his twenties.

“The girl spoke about ‘good touch and bad touch’ during a counselling session at her school. The police were then informed,” the officer said.

The three were arrested for rape under the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. PTI COR NR
