Sahnewal police on Monday booked a man and his accomplice for kidnapping and raping a 14-year-old girl for atleast 26 days.
The accused have been identified as Adarsh Tiwari of Giaspura and Satyam.
An FIR has been lodged against them based on the statement of the victim’s father, a resident of Mahadev Nagar. He stated that his daughter had gone missing on July 18 and he had lodged a missing report with the police and kept looking for her, but to no avail.
