Rajasthan: Dausa gangrape accused sent to five-day cop custody

JAIPUR: The three persons accused of gangraping a 17-year-old girl in Dausa were produced in court on Monday and sent to five days of police custody.
Cops are meanwhile still looking for two other accused who had committed the crime. Although four persons raped the girl, cops claimed that there were others involved as well who played a role in the assault but are yet to be found.
Dausa ASP Anil Chauhan said, “We have three accused in our custody and will question them to get details about the whereabouts of others. This was a heinous crime and we are investigating it swiftly so that no accused gets away. There are chances that more than five persons were involved who probably did not rape the girl but molested her in some way. We will catch them as well.”
According to information, the accused kidnapped the girl around 11 am and dumped her back in the village around 5 pm during which time they kept calling others to rape her. Through sources, cops found that two accused took her and raped her near a temple and then called others to take advantage of the situation.
The girl’s mother had gone out of the village and returned on August 6 after which she realised that something was amiss. Getting any information from the child was difficult for cops due to the challenges which the minor was facing but she still gave the names of the accused who all were from the same village as her.”
According to sources, cops have detained the fourth accused as well though he has not been formally arrested.
A case of gangrape, abduction as well as under POCSO Act has been registered. The minor’s medical examination was done and doctors claimed that fortunately she did not suffer any major injuries, claimed officials.
