The National Child Protection Authority (NCPA) has intervened to save a 13-year-old girl from being raped further.
Due to the timely action by the National Child Protection Authority, the suspect who had allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl of his mistress was arrested and produced before the Polonnaruwa Magistrate who remanded him, a spokesman for the NCPA told the Observer Online.
