MUZAFFARPUR: A 15-year-old Class X student was kidnapped and gang-raped by an auto driver and two of his accomplices in Muzaffarpur on Monday evening near Bairia. “The miscreants allegedly left the survivor near Bairai bus stand after taking turns to rape her on Monday night. She, somehow, managed to reach her residence and inform her parents. She was immediately admitted to Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) for treatment after finding her condition serious,” SSP Jayant Kant said.
The incident happened when the survivor was on her way home from a school under the Ahiapur police station area on Monday evening.
A resident of a village under Minapur block of the district, she along with her parents stay at a rented accommodation in Muzaffarpur town to pursue her education.
“An FIR has been lodged with the Mahila Thana on Wednesday morning after taking the survivor’s statement,” the SSP said. Meanwhile, parents of the girl have alleged negligence on part of the police. “Cops at Ahiapur police station virtually threw us out of the police station after abusing us when we reached there to lodge a complaint,” said a kin of the victim.
However, Ahiapur police station SHO Vikas Kumar Rai has feigned ignorance about any such incident till 11pm on Tuesday. Incidentally, the Muzaffarpur SSP said that neither the girl’s parents nor the SKMCH administration had informed the police. “We got to know about the incident from our own sources,” he said.
