The main accused, Rakesh Kumar, a resident of Uttaranchal, works at a dhaba in Delhi, police said. He lived in Kherki Daula at his sister’s house till a few months ago.
On Tuesday, he visited his sister with his friend Suresh Kumar when he noticed the girl outside her house.
Rakesh asked the girl about the location of a chicken shop and when she pointed towards a shop, he asked her to escort them, said investigating officer, sub-inspector Suman.
“The accused offered to give her sweets and noodles and she went with them. Rakesh raped her at a secluded spot near a cremation ground while the co-accused kept an eye on passers-by,” the officer said.
The accused reportedly gagged the victim and then raped her. The girl managed to scream, alerting people walking by. The locals nabbed the accused and handed him over to the police.
The victim’s parents, who hail from Madhya Pradesh and work as labourers in a local factory, were at work when the incident happened.
The parents rushed her to the civil hospital in Gurgaon from where the doctors referred her to Safdarjung hospital in Delhi. The girl has reportedly been operated upon and is in critical condition.
