A 16-year-old Intermediate student delivered a stillborn foetus in the washroom of an examination centre in Kothagudem while appearing for her vocational examination on Friday, 27 February 2026. Police said the girl had sought permission from the invigilator during the examination and rushed to the washroom, where she delivered the foetus. The incident came to light shortly thereafter, prompting college authorities to alert the police. Based on a complaint initially lodged by the college principal, a case was registered. Following the recording of the minor’s statement on Saturday, sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act were subsequently invoked, and a detailed investigation has been launched by the Palvancha police.
