Barely a month after a Dalit minor was gang-raped in Budaon, a similar incident was reported from the district.
According to reports, three youths, including the son of a district Samajwadi Party (SP) leader, gang-raped the 14-year-old late on Saturday night when she had gone to the fields to answer call of nature.
The culprits, according to the police, took the minor to a mango orchard, a few 100 metres away from the village, and gang-raped her.
They later dumped the victim on the road near another village and sped away on their motor bike.
The victim managed to walk to a relative’s house and narrated the incident. An FIR was lodged with the police on Sunday and the victim was sent for medical examination, which, according to sources, confirmed rape.
One of the accused, the SP leader's son, was arrested on Sunday night, while two others had been absconding, the police said. A massive manhunt had been launched to nab the culprits.
Barely a month ago, a dalit minor was gang-raped by three persons in the district. The victim slipped into deep depression following the incident.
Around a dozen incidents of rape has taken place in the district in the past few months, police sources said.
A few months ago, two cousins were gang-raped and later hanged from a tree at a village in the district.
Though the CBI, which had investigated the case, disputed the incident, a local court is currently hearing a petition challenging the agency’s version.
