When the 12-year-old girl’s family found out what had happened, they were furious and went to lodge a police report.
The police have affirmed that they received the report for this case and it will be investigated under Section 376 of the Penal Code, which specifies imprisonment for a term of up to twenty years. As the girl was only 12 years old, it is considered statutory rape even if it was consensual.
