Police have arrested a father-son duo in a rape and forced abortion case involving a 14-year-old girl in Surkhet. The father and his 18-year-old son from Gangamala Municipality-18 were detained on Monday, following a complaint recorded by the girl’s parents. Police Inspector Jaya Singh Bista at Chhinchu Area Police Office said the son had allegedly raped the minor girl on April 28 and his father had assisted him in aborting the baby after learning that the girl had become pregnant. The abortion was performed at a Birendranagar-based clinic, five months after the girl was raped. Inspector Bista said the father and son are being kept in custody for investigation.
