HYDERABAD: Four persons were taken into custody by Dundigal Police on Thursday on the suspicion that they gang raped a 14-year-old girl who is mentally-ill.
Police said the victim left her house after quarrelling with her parents on Monday. The victim’s parents approached police after their efforts to find her were in vain.
Police formed search teams and traced the missing girl. During investigation, they came to know that she was gang raped by four men who stay in the same colony.
“The victim is not completely in sound mental condition. On the day of she went missing, she was found by locals asking passers by to give her money. When she approached the suspects, one of them took her to his house on the pretext of giving her money. We suspect that they gang raped her. The investigation is still being done,’’ Dundigal inspector S Venkatesham told TOI.
Meanwhile in Asifnagar, police are interrogating a 14-year-old boy who allegedly outraged the modesty of an 8-year-old girl. The local police said that the incident took place two days ago and a case was registered under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
(The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme Court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
