Afraid of threats from her step-grandfather, the girl stayed silent at first but eventually confided in her stepmother. This led to a police complaint by her uncle.
The accused is now in judicial custody. Police have conducted medical exams for evidence and are actively searching for the newborn placed for adoption.
The investigation is ongoing to ensure both the girl's safety and to locate the child.
