A 16-year-old girl returning from school was allegedly gang-raped last week by a classmate, a distant relative and another youth who had offered her a lift home as she had missed the bus.
The girl has told the police that last Wednesday, she missed her school bus and was walking home alone when a classmate and his friend stopped their car and offered to drop her home. The boys allegedly forced her to have a drink laced with drugs and gang-raped her. She alleges that she was gagged.
The girl was missing for hours before she was found by the police in an unconscious state, on a deserted stretch of the road.
“We received information from the girl’s father that on April 18, she could not be found and based on his statement a First Information Report was filed against three people. We have caught the main accused and another youth, while a third one is still on the run,” said Awneesh Kumar, a senior police officer.
The girl’s family had tried looking for her when she did not return home in the evening but to no avail.
Around 1 am, the girl was reportedly found loitering near Galgotias University in Knowledge Park area, where she had been dumped. “Police handed over the girl to the family,” the officer said.
An FIR has been lodged under IPC Sections 376D (gang-rape), 363 (kidnapping) and provisions of the POCSO ( Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act against the accused relative from Palwal and the other two youngsters.
