Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh:
A 52-year-old man was arrested on Sunday for allegedly raping his niece, a minor, which led to her pregnancy, police said.
The accused Rehman Khan was arrested after victim's parents lodged a complaint against him, Burhanpur City Superintendent of Police (CSP) Ramesh Khaka said.
According to the complaint, Khan had raped his younger brother's daughter at a knife-point when she had gone to reply to nature's call around seven months ago, he said.
The accused had threatened the girl of dire consequences if she ever revealed about it to her parents, the officer said.
The victim's parents came to know that their daughter was seven month pregnant when they visited a hospital with their daughter, Khaka said.
"We have arrested Khan and booked him under relevant sections and further investigations were on," Khaka said.
