In a shocking incident, a 15-year- old cancer survivor was allegedly raped by two men in Sarojini nagar here and was later sexually assaulted by another person whom she asked for help, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place last night when the girl had gone out to meet an acquaintance, Additional Superintendent of Police (Lucknow East) Sarvesh Mishra said.
The survivor alleged that her acquaintance, Shubham, took her to a secluded place where he and his friend, Sumit, raped her and fled from the spot, the police said, adding when she was waiting by the roadside for help, the motorcyclist, Virendra, arrived and promised to drop her home. But Virendra too raped her.
On the way, she revealed her ordeal and the man “took her to another deserted spot, raped her and escaped, leaving her at the spot”, an officer said.
The victim somehow reached home and narrated the ordeal to her parents. Subsequently, her father lodged a complaint, the police said. A case of gang-rape has been registered under relevant section of IPC and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO), police said, adding Sumit and Virendra have been arrested.
A hunt was on to apprehend Shubham, the Additional SP said.
