GREATER NOIDA: A 16-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped and raped for days by two youths in Dadri area on Thursday. The family members of the girl alleged the girl along with her younger sister had gone to the forest area near their rented home on January 31, when one of the accused abducted her after thrashing her younger sister. The accused took her to a room in Greater Noida, where another youth had been waiting there. They together raped the girl for days, according to the girl’s family.
As the family members failed to trace the girl, they lodged a complaint with the police, following which an FIR under IPC section 363 (punishment for kidnapping) was filed. While the police are claiming the girl had eloped with the youth, the girl said in her statement to the Childline that she was raped for days.
Mala Bhandari, president of Noida-based NGO Sadrag which handles Greater Noida Childline, told TOI that the incident happened in Ajayabpur police station area where the girl stays in a small room with her family, while the accused stays in a room opposite to that.
“She had gone to relieve herself with younger sister. The youth had been waiting for her on a bike for some time. He allegedly drove her towards Greater Noida where another youth had been waiting. They confined her in a room for days and allegedly raped the girl,” she said.
Dadri SHO Rajvir Singh Chauhan said the girl was traced to Rampur Fatehpur village on Saturday.
“Sections of rape and POCSO Act could be added to the case, which depends on the girl’s statement before the magistrate under CrPC section 164,” he said.
The family members alleged that a woman constable demanded Rs. 1000 from them for getting the medical examination of the girl done. When contacted, ACP Nitin Singh told TOI that if a complaint is filed by the family, an inquiry will be conducted and action will be taken against the police officer.
