NOIDA: A 15-year-old orphan was allegedly raped by the “brother” of a woman who had provided shelter to the teenager at her house in Chandigarh. The woman, police said, adopted the girl as her foster mother after her parents died a few years back but made her do all the household chores.The girl was spotted wandering in a dishevelled condition near Noida’s Sector 18 underpass some 15 days back by a passerby who had informed the Childline, an NGO.After Childline produced the girl before the child welfare committee (CWC), the latter sent her to a childcare home where she underwent counselling.According to police, the girl narrated her ordeal to the counsellor only after spending a fortnight in the care home. She had lost her parents a few years back but does not even know where she belongs to.“The girl was not very open initially and reluctant to share all the facts. However, almost after 15 days, she shared with her counsellor that she was earlier staying with a woman who would act as her foster mother. A man who also stayed there and identified himself as the woman’s brother allegedly raped her,” a Childline official told TOI.The girl managed to free herself from the clutches of the woman and her so-called brother in Chandigarh and reached Gurgaon.In Gurgaon too, the girl spent a few days at an unknown person’s place, she has told the counsellor.Uday Pratap, SHO of Sector 39 police station, said the girl has shared the details of an address in Chandigarh. “She has revealed that along with making her do household chores, a man who stayed in the house claiming to be the woman’s brother sexually assaulted her,” the officer said.“After staying in Chandigarh, the girl allegedly stayed at a house in Gurgaon, but she is not very clear about this place. As per the CWC’s directions, the Sector 39 police has been informed. More information will be shared with them as soon as she reveals more about the house,” the Childline official said.Sector 39 SHO, however, said that an FIR will be lodged only after an inspection of the location in Chandigarh, identified as the spot of the alleged crime. “Once the details are confirmed, a case will be lodged,” he said.The medical examination of the girl is still pending.
