Amid outrage over the gangrape and murder of a 19-year-old Dalit woman in Uttar Pradesh’s Hathras, another case has now emerged from Rajasthan.
Two minors were allegedly abducted from Baran in Rajasthan and taken to Jaipur and Kota where they gangraped for three days. Police have, however, claimed that the two minor girls denied the rape allegations in their statement.
The father of the girls, aged 13 and 15, told police that the two accused, also minors, lured his daughters on the night of September 18 to leave the district with them. They were then taken to Kota and Jaipur where they were raped by the two minor boys and three others, the father alleged.
On September 21, the two girls were found in Kota.
While police claimed that the minor girls denied allegations of rape in their statement, the two admitted on camera to having been drugged and gangraped.
The family of the two minors, meanwhile, alleged that they were threatened not to file a complaint against the accused.
As the girls’ father informed the police about the incident, cops took accused to the police station. When the girls told police about the incident, the accused threatened to kill them in front of the police, the family of the girls alleged.
