The Andhra Pradesh State Commission for Protection of Child Rights has taken suo motu cognisance of the alleged sexual assault of a minor girl by a Church Pastor at a village in Kamavarapukota mandal of Eluru district. According to official information, the incident came to light after the girl reportedly fell ill and was shifted to a hospital, where doctors found that she was pregnant.
The Pastor, Choutapalli Rambabu, allegedly sexually assaulted the minor girl over the past several months by taking advantage of his acquaintance with the victim's family and threatening her. Police said the Pastor had regular access to the family.
The matter took a turn for the worse when the accused allegedly attempted to suppress the issue by giving abortion pills to the girl in excess quantity, leading to severe bleeding and critical condition.
The Commission, led by Chairperson Vetukuri A.V.S. Suryanarayana Raju and member Undavalli Gandhi Babu, will visit the house of the victim on Monday to investigate the matter. The visit aims to gather more information and take necessary actions to ensure the victim's well-being and justice.
