Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh), Aug 2: A 14-year old minor gang-raped in Ghaziabad area of Uttar Pradesh on July 27, said police. The class 9 student at a private school was allegedly abducted from Khoda area of Ghaziabad and gang-raped by the youths said the report filed the next day of the incident.
While we have arrested
three accused in connection to the incident, the victim has been sent for
medical examination, police said.
The reports say that
the victim was known to one of the accused, identified as Karan. He allegedly called her to a nearby temple to meet him on July 27.
However, he also called
three of his friends with a car and they lured the girl for a drive but instead
kidnapped her and took her to an apartment in Kondli area in New Delhi. Here,
all four of them allegedly took turns to rape her.
The accused later
dropped the girl at the main road in Khoda and threatened her with dire
consequences if she told anyone about the incident. They also snatched her
mobile phone.
However the girl
rushed to her house and narrated the ordeal to her parents. The family
immediately reported the matter to the police but alleged that cops at Khoda police
station pressurised them to remove the name of a particular accused from their
complain if they wanted their FIR to be registered.
"Its
heart-wrenching how police behaved with us when we reported the incident to
them. Twice they tore our complaint while for nearly 6-7 times we were turned
away from the police station. Later, we reached out to senior police
officials to seek justice," said a member of the victim's family.
However, police maintained that all the three accused were arrested, denying that there were four accused, apparently. Abhay Kumar Mishra,
circle officer, Ghaziabad Police said that an FIR has been registered under
relevant sections of the gang rape and the three accused have been arrested by the
police.
"All the three accused
have been presented before the court and sent to jail. The girl has been sent
for medical examination. While the family has alleged police for negligence, we
have called them to the police station to record their statements but they have not
come.
Initial findings do
not indicate a lag in police behaviour in the probe. However investigation is
underway and proper actions will be taken accordingly," added Mishra.
