A 14-year-old Indian boy becomes a father after having sex with an 18-year-old girl. On Friday 24th March 2017, police conducted paternity tests which revealed the news.

However, despite being four years older than him, the 18-year-old girl filed a case against him. She claimed that the boy had raped her. Therefore, police took the 14-year-old in for questioning.
