A mother tortured her 10-year-old daughter to conceal the fact that the child had been raped by her male acquaintance multiple times, and she also sought to force her into prostitution, according to officials, in a heartbreaking crime that has surfaced in Ghaziabad. The girl’s 13-year-old sibling is also said to have been sexually molested by the father.

According to police, on January 20, the youngster fled her Ghaziabad home because she could no longer bear the abuse and was discovered wandering the streets of Delhi. After being turned over to the Delhi Police, the Child Welfare Committee was given custody of her. A medical examination on the girl showed that she had been raped.
What did the child from Ghaziabad say?
The child informed authorities that she had been living with her maternal grandparents for the past four years following the death of her father. Her mother had brought the siblings to her Ghaziabad residence last year. Her mother’s acquaintance, who had previously molested her brother, 13, sexually attacked her on multiple occasions. The abuse had caused her brother to move out of the house.
The youngster claimed that learning that her mother was involved in prostitution following the loss of her father and that she intended to pressure her into the trade as she grew older was the final straw for her.
According to a representative of the Ghaziabad Loni Border police station, the mother of the child and her friend have been taken into custody.
Bhaskar Sharma, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Loni), stated: “The girl has identified Raju, a Delhi resident, as her rapist. Even after going missing on January 20, the mother had not yet submitted a missing person’s report. The child claimed that to hide the crime, her mother and Raju would torture her and threaten to use pliers to get rid of her if she told anyone.
“The Delhi Police first reported the crime in January, and on April 9, the Loni Border Police Station received it. He continued, “The girl had initially claimed she had been raped by her stepfather because she was so afraid of Raju.
