Lucknow: A 15-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped in Sultanpur after being called by her stepsister to the house of one of her friends. The girl was also allegedly raped inside a bus which the accused had hired to drop her home.
Police said the bus driver, Harimangal, his aide Kuldeep Yadav and the survivor’s 19-year-old stepsister were arrested on Thursday.
SP Sultanpur Vipin Mishra said mastermind Shivpujan is still absconding.
SHO, Kurebhar, Amrendra Bahadur Singh said the bus was intercepted during routine checking around 1.30am on Monday.
“Harimangal and Kuldeep (21) sitting next to him panicked after spotting the cops. Harimangal could neither show his driving licence nor give a satisfactory reason about plying late in the night. During search, we spotted the feet of a child on the last seat of the bus. On being called out, two girls and a male child came out,” said the SHO.
“On being questioned by women officers, the 15-year-old girl said that the other 19-year-old girl is her stepsister and brought her by deceit. She said that she was raped at the house of the accused and inside the bus by two of them,” according to the FIR registered by the police.
