Kochi (Kerala) [India], September 3 (ANI): A 20-year-old man was held on Thursday for alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl and impregnating her in Kerala's Kochi.
The incident came to light when the cleaning staff at a private hospital in Kochi found the body of a newborn baby on Wednesday.
The Ernakulam South police registered a case in the unnatural death of a newborn and another case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act against the youth.
