Arrested for raping minor, teen gets bail after paternity test comes back negative
The 18-year-old spent 35 days in judicial custody before he was released Saturday. Police had taken him into custody from his house on July 22 midnight, and he was remanded in judicial custody the next day.
The Class XII student alleged physical and mental torture at the hands of the police, and his lawyer said that they will file a damage suit.
A TEENAGER, who was arrested last month for the rape and impregnation of a minor girl in Kerala’s Malappuram district, has been released unconditionally on bail after a DNA paternity test came back negative.
The 18-year-old spent 35 days in judicial custody before he was released Saturday. Police had taken him into custody from his house on July 22 midnight, and he was remanded in judicial custody the next day.
The Class XII student alleged physical and mental torture at the hands of the police, and his lawyer said that they will file a damage suit.
“I vehemently objected to the allegation that I had raped the minor and impregnated her. Before the next day’s break, I was taken to the house of the girl, handcuffed. The girl told the police that I had abused her and was responsible for the pregnancy,” the teenager said after he was released.
