Acting swiftly, the police have arrested the two accused.

The father, a painter, who works outside the village, accused two locals Govind and Deendayal for the crime. An FIR was lodged in the case following the complaint.

The sisters, whose mother died two years ago, lived with their grandparents. On the night of September 12, the accused stole into the house and climbed the stairs to reach the second storey where the sisters were asleep.

As one girl woke up and tried to raise an alarm, the duo threatened to kill them by throwing them off the terrace. Then they tied up the younger sister, and raped the elder one before fleeing. The next day, the girls called up their father and informed him about the incident, following which he came and reported the matter to the police.
