17-Yr-Old Girl Returning Home After Party Gang-Raped In Hyderabad

Mumbai: A 17-year-old girl returning home after attending a get-together at a pub was gang-raped in Hyderabad’s Jubilee Hills area.

According to police, some of the youngsters who’d met the victim at the party approached her, offering to drop her home.

Based on a complaint lodged by the victim’s family three days ago, police initially registered a case of “outraging modesty.”

The family got suspicious after seeing some minor injuries on her neck, but she reportedly said that it was because some boys misbehaved with her after the pub party.

The investigators registered a case under section 354 of the IPC and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act. They then sent her for a medical examination, where she allegedly told the Bharosa Kendra officials about the sexual assault.

While leaving the pub, some youths who had met her reportedly approached her, offering to drop her home. “When the car stopped at an isolated location in the darkness, the youngsters violated her one after the other,” a police officer said, as reported in The Hindu.

“However, since the crime was committed at the night, the video footage could not give us details,” the officer added.

Investigators are now trying to verify whether a minor was involved in the alleged gang rape.

The girl’s father has lodged a complaint and a rape case has been registered against five minors for the alleged gang-rape on May 28.
