15-year-old girl raped multiple times in MP; five booked

“The victim lodged a complaint of gang rape against the five persons late on Monday evening,” Superintendent of Police (SP) Kumar Prateek said.

The accused have been identified and will be arrested soon, he said.

Kotwali police station in-charge Raghvendra Tiwari said the incident took place when the girl was returning from a coaching institute.

“The girl was chatting with a friend when five teenagers arrived there. They asked the duo why they were standing there and threatened them. They also started shooting their video,” the official said.

After filming the video, the accused forcibly took the girl to a nearby forest and raped her there, the police said.

Later, the victim reached her friend’s house and told her about her ordeal, following which her family members were informed. They later filed a police report, he said.

A case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (POCSO) Act has been registered, he said, adding that further investigation was underway. PTI COR ADU NP
