Two minors arrested for allegedly raping an 8th grade girl in Indore

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Two minor boys were arrested in Malharganj on Thursday for gang-raping a girl from class VIII. One of the suspects had called the girl to a place on the pretext of meeting her old friend.

Additional DCP (Zone-1) Alok Sharma informed Free Press that the 15-year-old victim in her complaint said that she had befriended a 16-year-old boy from the airport area a few months ago but later stopped talking to him. Later, she received a call from a boy friend who asked her to come to a temple in Pologround Ares on November 4.

However, when she reached the spot, she found a 16-year-old boy driving a two-wheeler. They introduced themselves as the boy’s friends, said the boy was waiting for her and took her to a house in Kaveri Nagar. However, at home they allegedly sexually abused her.

The victim claimed that they tied her legs with a scarf and even took a video of the incident. Later they dropped her off somewhere. After mothering her for two days, the victim shared her ordeal with her parents, who later took her to the Aerodrome police station to file a complaint.

The complaint was later registered at Malharganj police station as the crime scene fell under its jurisdiction. The two accused boys, aged 16 and 17, were detained and an investigation was underway.
