IDUKKI: A 16-year-old minor girl delivered at home Thursday morning at Kumily near Idukki. On being informed by her family, the police arrived home and shifted the mother and baby to the hospital.
The girl told police that she was in love with her classmate. The police have started an investigation for her classmate based on her statement. There is a technical hurdle in imposing POCSO on her classmate as he is also a minor.
