Two men in India have been arrested for raping a child, and then using abortion<\/a> to cover it up when she got pregnant.<\/p>\n

According to the Orissa Post<\/a>, an English newspaper reporting news in India, the girl, whose age was not given, tried to attend a fair in the Biramitrapur area in March. Afterwards, police found her wandering around a bus stop after she failed to return home. The officer who found her brought her to the police station, but it wasn’t for her safety. Instead, she was taken to the roof of the police station and was raped by Anand Majhi, the inspector rank officer for the station.<\/p>\n

Over the next four months, the girl was repeatedly raped by Majhi and four others. When she became pregnant, Majhi took her to Debashis Ghosh, a government doctor at the Biramitrapur Community Health Center, to force her to have an abortion. Notably, the abortion was illegal, but these men\u2014who all held positions of government power and authority\u2014colluded to force the girl into the procedure anyway.<\/p>\n
