Rohtak schoolgirl abducted, raped: Hotel owner, 2 other arrested; 1 still on the run

The girl’s family members had demanded action against the hotel in question for providing room to the accused even though there was a minor with them. The family members stated that the girl was in her school uniform when the trio took her to the hotel, and that should have set off the alarm bells for the staff.

A hunt is on for the third accused in the rape case.

As per information, the trio, two of them known to the girl and hailing from her village, had intercepted her on Thursday morning while she was headed to school and abducted her in a car.

The girl told the police that she had initially tried to scream for help, but was hushed by the accused, who threatened her of dire consequences.

The girl’s father, in his police complaint, said that the trio gangraped her and subsequently took her to a hotel, where one of the accused raped her again.

He added, “It was after they left from the hotel that my daughter contacted me with the help of the staff there. The staff took her to a nearby police checkpost, where she narrated the entire incident to the police.”
