Minor gang-raped in Sitamarhi: In Sitamarhi, four youths are evading arrest after allegedly gang-raping a 16-year-old minor girl at a village under the Parihar police station area.
Parihar police station SHO Ashok Singh on Thursday said that raids were going on to nab accused Raja Kumar, Gunjesh Kumar, Mishri Lal and Nandan Kumar. “All are aged around 20 years. Victim’s medical examination has been conducted and some of her clothes have been seized for forensic analysis,” he said.
Singh said the incident took place on Monday midnight but the girl along with her parents and few other relatives approached the police on Wednesday evening.
“She has alleged that the four youths kidnapped her from a cattle shed and then took her to a secluded place and gang-raped her. She had initially kept everything hidden from parents too out of fear,” SHO Singh said.
