GUMLA: Three men, including a rape survivor’s uncle, were booked on Wednesday for thrashing five men accused of gang-raping a 14-year-old girl under Chainpur police station on Saturday. Three of the five accused are minors.
On Saturday, the girl, a resident of Harra Dipa village, did not return and stayed at an empty house in the village where the five — Ilyas Minz (25), Subhash Baraik (26) and three minors — gangraped her. The girl returned home the next day and narrated her ordeal to her parents.
Officer in-charge of Chainpur police station Sudama Ram said the survivor had visited Ilyas on Saturday evening to bring back a bluetooth speaker which the later had taken from her a few days ago. “When the survivor visited Ilyas, the minor arrived at the spot along with Subhash and two other minors and forcibly took the girl to a desolate place around 7 pm where they took turns to rape her,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ilyas and one of the minor accused reached the girl’s house and asked her family members to not complain to the police and threatened them of dire consequences. After Gopal Baraik, the girl’s uncle, came home and learnt about the threat, he informed Govind Baraik and Tulsi Baraik and reached the accused’s home with sticks and axes. After a brief verbal exchange, the three thrashed Ilyas and the minor.
After police were informed, they took the five accused in custody and admitted Ilyas and the minor to the community health centre.
Ram said, “Two of the rape accused were arrested while the three minors were detained. Ilyas and the minor were taken to Chainpur CHC, from where the minor was referred to Gumla sadar hospital on Wednesday.”
Ram said a case against the five accused has been lodged under sections of the IPC and POCSO Act while another has been lodged against the girl’s uncle and two others under Section 326 of the IPC.
