New Delhi: A 14-year-old girl has accused her live-in partner, also a minor, of “raping her repeatedly” over a course of one year in South East Delhi, police said today.

The complainant alleged that she was living with the accused over the last one year in Jaitpur area here, police said.

The 16-year-old boy deserted her one day and disappeared and she returned to her family who then approached the police with a complaint, a senior police officer said.
