A teenage girl was allegedly gang-raped by four youths late on Saturday night in Dhokhri village under Phulpur police station.
The victim’s father has filed a first information report against two youths of the same village and two of their aides in connection with the crime.
The victim, a Class 10 student, had reportedly gone to watch Ramlila being staged in her village on Saturday night. Spotting her alone, two youths known to her called her out on some pretext and then with the help of two others took her away to a nearby secluded tube-well. The four then allegedly raped her and fled after threatening her to not reveal the incident.
The girl reached home and informed her parents about the incident. Her father then took her to the local police station and filed a police complaint.
A case was registered against Brijesh, 19, and Kuldeep, 20, of the same village and two other unidentified youths.
The two accused named in the FIR were arrested in subsequent police raids, and search for the unidentified suspects is on. The victim was admitted to a local community health centre.
Superintendent of police (trans-Ganga) Rajesh Srivastava confirmed that an FIR had been registered and arrests were made. “We are now getting the medical examination of the victim done. Further action will follow in the case,” he said.
