She gave birth to a girl child on Thursday but the newborn died soon after the birth, police officer Virendra Tripathi said.

In the complaint, the family had alleged that the victim, who is a Class 7 student, was called by the accused to his home on August 15 last year and raped her there, police said.
The accused issued life threats to the victim and raped her on several occasions, they added.

We are waiting for post-mortem and DNA reports of the newborn and further action will be taken after that, he said.
