Minor girl gang-raped by three six months ago in farm

Surat: Three men were booked at Katargam police station on Friday for kidnapping a 16-year-old girl in a car and later gang-raping her six months ago. The accused took photos of the minor girl on their mobile phones while raping her and later threatened to share them on social media and also throw acid on her if she complained to anyone about it.
Police booked Jay Khokhariya and two others for allegedly kidnapping and raping the minor girl. They kidnapped the minor girl from a locality near Ved Road around six months ago in a car and took her to an agricultural farm where they raped her.
"The minor girl did not complain initially due to threats, but she approached police after the accused attacked her father a few days ago. A fight started between the accused and the minor girl’s family as the accused continued to harass her," said a police officer at Katargam police station.
She claimed in her complaint that after raping her, the accused and his friends used to tease her often. She alleged that recently friends of the accused tried to kidnap her on a motorcycle, but she managed to escape.
Police are trying to find out the location where the minor girl was raped six months ago by the accused and his friends as she doesn’t remember the exact place. Meanwhile, police have formed teams to locate the main accused Khokhariya, a resident of Katargam, who is on the run. A police team has left for Saurashtra to trace him in his hometown.
