A shocking and distressing incident has emerged from Udham Singh Nagar district in Uttarakhand. A 70-year-old man has been accused of raping his minor granddaughter, who was brought along by his daughter after her marriage. The crime came to light when the girl’s stepmother reported the ordeal to the authorities.

According to reports, the girl had initially come to care for her ailing step-grandmother, but the grandfather harboured sinister intentions towards her. Over time, he sexually assaulted her, resulting in pregnancy. The situation worsened when the victim gave birth to a child, whom the accused then gave up for adoption.

The victim, terrified by threats from her step-grandfather, remained silent for a long period. However, she eventually confided in her stepmother, who then informed the family.
