10-year-old girl gang-raped in Rohtas, 1 held

SASARAM: Police on Sunday arrested one of the three accused in connection with the alleged gang-rape of a 10-year-old girl near NH-2 under the Darigawn police station area in Rohtas district late on Friday night.
“One Golu Kumar (25) has been arrested in connection with the case. The process to conduct girl’s medical examination has been initiated,” SHO of Darigawn police station Umesh Yadav said, adding the police swung into action soon after the girl’s family members lodged an FIR against three people on Sunday.
The girl’s father, however, alleged that the local police mounted pressure on the family to settle the matter amicably as the accused were from influential families of nearby villages.“The three youths took my daughter to a nearby field on Friday night and took turns to rape her,” he alleged.
The girl reportedly fell unconscious after the incident. She was found in the field lying in a pool of blood the next morning.
