Pune: In a deeply distressing incident, a 17-year-old girl died due to severe weakness after giving birth to a child. The girl had reportedly become pregnant after alleged physical relationships with two individuals, including a minor boy.
Following a complaint lodged by the girl’s mother, the Bibwewadi Police Station has registered a case against the two accused. The incidents leading up to her death are said to have taken place between January and November 25, 2024.
