Now, minor held hostage, gangraped in UP’s Bulandshahr
BULANDSHAHR (UP): A 14-year-old girl was allegedly held captive and gang-raped by three minors in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr district. The police officials told media outlets that the incident happened four days ago and accused were arrested in time.
Three minors arrested for allegedly raping their 14-year-old girl relative in Pahasu. One other minor also arrested for posting the video on internet. SK Singh, SSP says, “Case has been registered. Police arrested all 4 accused within 2 hours”.
According to news agency reported, investigating police officials said that the 14-year-old girl had gone to the field to fetch some vegetables when the minors held her hostage and gang-raped her.
Bulandshahr SSP told a media person that the police have arrested three minors in connection with the case and the fourth accused who uploaded the video online. The FIR was registered by the survivor’s uncle in the case. The incident happened on December 3 but the girl did not tell anyone in the family for three days. She revealed the ordeal only after her video went viral on social media. However, further probe in the matter is underway.
The incident was reported just hours after a rape victim from Unnao died at Safdarjung Hospital in New Delhi after she was set ablaze by five men, including her rape accused, near her village.
The incident happened on Thursday when she was on her way to the court for the hearing of a rape case she had filed earlier. She had suffered 90 per cent burn injuries.
The woman was earlier being treated in Lucknow but later in the day, she was airlifted to Safdurjung Hospital in Delhi due to her critical condition. She had filed a rape case in March 2019. The police has arrested the five accused. They have been kept under 14-day judicial custody.
Meanwhile, two weeks ago, a veterinary doctor in Hyderabad was gangraped and charred to death by five men while she was on her way home. The accused were killed in a police encounter on Friday morning.
