10-year-old rape victim delivers baby without knowing it

A 10-year-old rape victim, who delivered a baby girl in a hospital today, was told by her parents she was being operated upon for stones, a doctor said.

The victim, whose abortion plea was turned down by the Supreme Court, underwent a C-Section in a government hospital here.

"Her parents told her that she had been taken to the hospital for treatment of stones," the doctor said.

Dr Dasari Harish, chairperson of a committee constituted for the treatment of the rape victim, said the girl's condition was stable.

"The minor girl delivered a baby through C-section this morning. The infant's weight is 2.2 kg and it has been admitted to neo natal ICU. As far as the girl is concerned, she is stable and will be kept in a separate room," Dr Harish said.

He said the infant was slightly underweight.
