Minor Among Three Accused Of Raping 6-Year-Old In UP’s Bijnor

The child's mother was away from the spot when the three accused dragged her to the toilet and allegedly raped her.

A minor was taken into custody and two others were arrested for allegedly raping a six-year-old girl in a toilet of a market in Bijnor's Kotwali Dehat police station area in Uttar Pradesh on Friday. 

Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Ram Arj told PTI the incident occurred while the girl was grazing animals with her mother near a market. The child's mother was away from the spot when the three accused — Junaid, 20, Visal, 18, and the minor — dragged her to the toilet and allegedly raped her.

The ASP said that two of the accused were arrested, while the minor was nabbed and produced before the juvenile court. The police officer said, that the victim underwent a medical examination. He also informed that the accused have been booked under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Gujarat Rape Of 15-Year-Old

In a separate incident, a 15-year-old girl was gang-raped allegedly by six men in Gujarat's Banaskantha district. The incident took place in Ambaji town on November 5, Inspector RB Gohil told PTI. 

As per the FIR, the girl was walking to her uncle's house in the evening when a man identified as Lala Parmar, who was known to her, offered her a lift on his two-wheeler. He took her to a secluded place along Chapri road where he and five associates allegedly raped her. The six fled the scene when she fell unconscious. 

Reacting to this, Geniben Thakor, the Congress lone Lok Sabha MP from Gujarat, hit out at the BJP government in the state.

"The law and order situation in Gujarat has deteriorated. Several such incidents have taken place recently. The BJP government's Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi is busy in the poll campaign here. If Sanghavi had concentrated on his work and used sufficient number of police force to protect people, this tragedy would not have occurred," Thakor said.

She was referring to the ongoing campaign for the upcoming November bypoll to Vav assembly seat in Banaskantha district. The seat fell vacant after Thakor, on being elected as Banaskantha Lok Sabha MP, resigned as MLA.
