Police have registered a case of rape against three accused. Two of them -- a 70-year-old and a 50-year-old -- have been arrested.
Police said the accused knew the girl’s family and they raped the girl at different places over the past few months, impregnating her.
Bulandshahr senior superintendent of police SK Singh said officials were sent to girl’s family to enquire about the incident and that a case was registered after that.
The incident comes against the backdrop of a 19-year-old Dalit woman’s alleged rape and assault in the state’s Hathras. She died in a Delhi hospital due to the injuries she suffered. The incident has triggered outrage across the nation with politicians of rival parties hitting out at the state’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
