Mobile Spills Proof, Cousin Held in Minor’s Rape-and-Pregnancy Case Nagpur: Police in Nagpur have solved a case involving the sexual abuse of a 17-year-old girl after mobile phone records and persistent investigation broke the family’s silence. The girl, a Class 12 student, was diagnosed with advanced pregnancy during her HSC board examinations and later gave birth to a stillborn fetus on March 17 at the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). A case was registered under relevant legal sections and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act following the incident. The case initially remained hidden as the girl’s family refused to disclose details, claiming she had not left the house. Investigators faced challenges in obtaining cooperation, as the girl was medically unfit to provide a statement in the early stages of the probe. Even later, she allegedly avoided answering questions, possibly to protect the accused. Police conducted repeated visits to the family’s residence and monitored movements closely. A breakthrough came when investigators analyzed mobile phone records. The girl had been using her mother’s phone, which revealed frequent chats and prolonged calls to a specific number traced to her maternal cousin. Despite this, the family continued to deny any wrongdoing. Further analysis of tower location data showed the girl’s and her cousin’s phones were at the same location for several hours on a day in July 2025—a hotel in the Hudkeshwar area. Hotel records confirmed both had checked in together. Confronted with call records, location data, and hotel evidence, the survivor eventually confessed to the police that her cousin had sexually assaulted her at the hotel, resulting in the pregnancy.#nagpur #rahul_madane #government_medical_college_and_hospital #shital_jasud #ritesh_aher
