The girl summoned courage to tell her school teacher in Dhupguri town in West Bengal state,  how the men in her family had constantly raped her for two years, impregnating her twice and forcing her to have abortions.

The shocked teacher took the girl to the girl to the police where she registered a complaint against the three men and they were arrested.

"Her father, a farmer aged around 50, allegedly raped her several times. She alleged that her uncle also raped her and of late, her brother had also started."
