16-Yr-Old Girl Gang Raped In UP, Consumes Poison Along With Male Friend

Mumbai: A 16-year-old girl consumed poison along with her male friend after she was allegedly gang-raped by two boys in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor. The girl and her male friend were rushed to the district hospital.

The father of the girl has lodged a complaint against the boys since he had seen them together on Saturday night.

Bijnor Superintendent of Police (SP) Dharamveer Singh said on Monday, “Investigation in the matter is still on and we have arrested two other boys named by the girl’s father in his complaint. A case has been registered against three persons, including the girl’s friend, under Sections 376D and 328 of the IPC, as well as under Section 5/6 of the POCSO Act.”

The girl and the accused were neighbours and belonged to the same community. The girl’s father alleges that the three accused gang-raped his daughter by grabbing her, due to which she consumed poison.

Bijnor SP said, “Prima facie it appears that the boy was having an affair with the girl for the past few months. The two were seen together on Saturday night. The girl’s father approached the police after the two consumed poison.”

The family of the accused, meanwhile, said, “The two were in a relationship. The girl had called the boy to her house but when they were caught by her father, they consumed poison.” The police said all the accused are minors.
