According to reports, a minor girl was allegedly gang-raped by around four men in Jubilee Hills area in Hyderabad last week while she was returning home from a get-together.

When asked, the victim said some men had "misbehaved" with her while she was returning home after the party.

Taking note of it, the police later registered a case under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The girl was sent for a medical examination. 

The victim spoke of her ordeal after woman officers at Bharosa centre interacted with her.

TRS leader K Kavitha, speaking on the incident, as quoted by news agency ANI, said, “In the sad and shameful incident where a minor was raped, we stand by the family. I am confident Telangana Police will get to the bottom of it. We have a track record of Zero Tolerance when it comes to Women’s safety.”
