Two girls — aged six and eight, were raped by their neighbour in Bawana on the outskirts of Delhi on Friday night. The accused had taken them to a nearby shop on the pretext of buying them candy after which he abducted them.
Police sources said that the two children, who live in the same locality, went to a nearby shop to buy something. While they were returning from the shop, they bumped into the accused who asked them to come along to another shop, a little far from their residence, to buy candy.
After the girls went missing, the family of the victims called up police to file a missing person’s report. After a search, the kids were found lying in a pit in a nearby park in a semi-conscious condition, during the early hours on Saturday. Police have arrested the accused.
“As stated by the victims to the police, the man took the children to a secluded spot near a jungle area. When sister of one of the accused (who had seen the girls with the man) tried to accompany them, the accused scolded her and sent her away. He then raped them in turns. When the girls tried to raise an alarm, he attempted to strangle them, following which they fainted,” said a senior police officer.
Police from Bawana police station and local residents had initiated a search for the girls in the spot where they had last been seen by one of the victim’s sisters. Officers said that the girls’ condition is now stable.
“It was around 4 am in the morning that the two girls were found lying in a pit in the deserted ground, in a semi-conscious state. They were immediately rushed to a hospital where sexual assault was confirmed, and the duo admitted for treatment. Their condition was said to be critical initially, but was declared stable by Tuesday evening. A case of rape under IPC section 376 and POCSO Act was registered and their statement was recorded,” the officer added.
