A case under relevant IPC sections and POCSO Act has been registered against the accused.
A 14-year-old girl was gangraped by six men in Dichaon village area of southwest Delhi on Friday morning. The men pulled her into a vehicle while she was on her way to school, and took turns raping her, according to a report in a prominent daily.
The men took the girl to a deserted area, parked the car on the roadside and forced themselves on her. The incident was witnessed by a passerby who informed a police officer, ASI Om Prakash, at the next traffic signal. The cop immediately informed policemen at Mundka police station, who traced the vehicle and arrested the five.
The accused have been identified as Rahul (19), Sooraj (19), Sandeep (21), Ramesh (27), Narender alias Chanchal (20) and Aman (23). Police said the survivor knew Rahul as he is her neighbour. She however does not recognise the other four. The incident took place between 8 am and 11 am. Sandeep was the driver.
"Around 7.30am, when the girl left her for school, Rahul stopped the vehicle and asked her to get in. When she started to walk away, the other five got down, dragged her inside and drove away. They kept driving for an hour before parking on a secluded stretch in Dichaon village. The passerby saw the girl screaming for help around 12.30pm after which he informed the traffic policeman," said Pushpendra Kumar, DCP (west).
"The police team reached the spot and nabbed the accused just when they were about to leave the area. However, Aman had fled before the police arrived. The survivor's family was informed and she was sent for medical examination, which confirmed rape," the senior officer added.
A case under relevant IPC sections and POCSO Act has been registered against the accused.
The rape survivor told police that the men raped her in turns. Two men stood outside the vehicle to keep a vigil. The men threatened to kill her younger brother and her if she approached the police, and beat her up to make her submit. Regular counselling sessions have now been planned to help the girl recover from the trauma.
The survivor's father, a driver, said he doesn't know any of the accused. "Letting my daughter go to school alone is something I will regret the rest of my life. My dreams today stand shattered," he said.
