The 10-year-old girl who was allegedly raped by her stepfather, a migrant labourer, underwent medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) at the local PGIMS. The MTP process, which began a few days ago, is now over.
The PGIMS administration as well as the District Child Welfare Committee authorities maintained that the girl underwent MTP under the supervision of a team of doctors and is fine.
She is also being provided psychological counseling simultaneously by the Department of Psychiatry at the PGIMS in order to bring her out of the mental trauma.
A separate room had been provided to the girl to maintain her privacy. She is being counseled by medical specialists and provided special diet in view of her condition.
The 10-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her stepfather several times. The incident came to light last week when her mother came to know that the girl was pregnant.
The girl was admitted to the PGIMS, while her step-father Suresh, a migrant labourer, has been arrested and sent to jail under judicial custody.
