Father of a minor rape victim has alleged that the accused is threatening his daughter with rape again ever since he is out on bail, the police said on Sunday.
A nine-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a minor boy during a birthday party of his sister in a west Udaipur locality in May 2014. The case was lodged on May 27 at Ghantaghar police station and the accused was sent to juvenile custody thereafter.
However, he was granted bail by the juvenile court on June 16, 2014. He has turned 19 now. And since then, he has allegedly been teasing and threatening the girl in public, Udaipur (west) deputy superintendent of police Gopal Singh Bhati said, quoting the complaint lodged by the victim’s father on February 28. Bhati assured necessary action against the accused. He said the police had already requested the additional district magistrate (ADM) to issue a necessary direction in this regard.
