ACCUSED RAPED THE VICTIM WHEN SHE HAD COME TO STAY AT HER MATERNAL AUNT’S HOUSE IN GURUGRAM

GURUGRAM: A 13-year-old girl was allegedly raped on more than one occasion by a man in January this year, when she had come to stay at her maternal aunt’s house, the Gurugram police said on Saturday, a day after they received a complaint lodged in this regard from the Uttar Pradesh police.

On Friday, the the Gurugram police filed an FIR under relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The teenager hails from Uttar Pradesh, where her father works as a driver. Her aunt, who works at a mall, has been made a co-accused in the case. The police are investigating her role in the rape and trying to track the main accused. The police are yet to make any arrests. “The girl’s parents filed a complaint with the Uttar Pradesh police in January after she told them about the ordeal,” Badshahpur station house officer(sho) Vipin Kumar said. The girl told the police that a man raped her with connivance of her aunt on more than one occasion. “The girl’s aunt would take her to a mall from where she would be picked up in a car and taken to an undisclosed location, where she would be raped,” sub-inspector Munesh Kumari, who is the investigating officer in the case, said.

The police said they were investigating whether the aunt took any money from the rapist.

In his complaint to police, the girl’s father stated that his sisterin-law called him on January 27 saying that his daughter was not keeping well and that he must come and collect her. “Once the girl recovered from the fever, she told her parents that she was raped,” Kumar said.
