An infant born to an eleven-year-old mother after rape died on Wednesday night.

A girl from Sisne of Khudunabari-1 in Jhapa who was raped by a forty-year-old man gave birth to a premature baby boy at Koshi Zonal Hospital, Biratnagar in the morning of Wednesday.

The girl with Bishwakarma surname gave birth to the baby weighing 1,200 grammes at seven months of pregnancy.

According to doctors assigned at the maternity ward, the premature baby died of infection. The girl, however, was discharged on Wednesday and her condition is normal. She is now under the protection of Biratnagar-based ABC Nepal, a non-government organisation fighting for the rights of women.

Alleged rapist Surendra Bishwakarma who is the victim's brother-in-law is on the run since the incident came into the public a few days ago. RSS
