Minor among four accused of kidnapping and raping a 19-year-old in Rajasthan

Jaipur: Four people allegedly kidnapped a 19-year-old woman and one of them – a minor and the main accused – raped her before selling her to another man in Sirohi district of Rajasthan, police said on Tuesday.

The girl’s family members filed a missing person report on July 19, said Kamal Singh, Station House Officer (SHO) of Swaroopganj police station.

However, two days later, on July 21, the girl called her family and informed them that she had been admitted to a hospital in Udaipur, Singh said.

“The girl’s family claims that she was kidnapped by four accused and taken to a place where the main accused raped her on July 19. They then sold her to a man named Kalu Kalbelia,” said SHO Singh.

“The next day, when Kalu Kalbelia was taking the girl on a motorcycle, an accident occurred in which she was injured. The girl was later admitted to a hospital in Udaipur from where she called her family,” he added. The SHO said that a case has been registered against four persons, including a minor, who is alleged to be the main accused.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Pindwada in Sirohi district is investigating the case, Singh said.
