Mangaluru, Mar 11: A school girl has been impregnated by her own brother who is also a “minor” at Vittla in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada district.
The shocking incident came to light during a regular health check-up organised by a local primary health care centre for school students.
Growing suspicious over the girl’s behaviour, a staffer of the primary healthcare centre suggested the teachers that she be subjected to certain tests.
Tests conducted at the Government Lady Goschen Hospital in Mangaluru confirmed that the girl was four months pregnant.
Soon, teachers brought the issue to the notice of police. The girl told the officials that she was sexually assaulted by her brother.
The17-year-old has been detained and sent to a centre under the Juvenile Justice Board.
