The woman sent her son to buy abortion pills, which were given to the victim by her," the source said.
Currently, the girl is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital. The police have recorded her statement, and once she is discharged from the hospital, the police will take her to the local magistrate to get her statement recorded.
