Ludhiana: The police on Tuesday night booked three juveniles for gang-raping their 16-year-old neighbour.
The minor, who works as a domestic help, said in her police complaint, “The accused used to stalk and harass me. Out of fear, I never told anyone about it. On Sunday evening, when I was on way home, the trio pulled over their bike near me. One of them got down and the other two asked me to come along with them. When I refused, they threatened to throw acid on me. Scared, I went along with the duo on their bike. They took me to a room and molested me.”
Soon, the third juvenile too reached there.
“The trio gang-raped me. They clicked my pictures on their cellphones. They again threatened me with acid attack and harm to my family if I spoke about the incident,” she added.
On returning home, the survivor did not say anything about it. On Tuesday night, she apprised her mother of the incident.
The family lodged a police complaint.
Investigating officer inspector Satish Kumar said, “A case has been registered under Section 376-D (gang rape) of the IPC and the IT Act against all the three accused, who are between 14 and 16 years old. They will be arrested soon.”
