PATNA: A 14-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped at a village under the Bochahan police station area in Muzaffarpur district on Tuesday, police said on Thursday.
The incident took place when the girl, a Class VI student, was cleaning utensils outside her house around 6.30pm. Two local youths – Anima Kumar and Ajay Kumar – forcibly took the girl to a litchi orchard and raped her.
The accused also made video of the crime and threatened to kill her if she revealed the matter either to the family or the police.
On Wednesday, the girl’s family reported the incident to the Bochahan police, which referred the matter to the Women’s police station. The survivor was subsequently sent for medical examination.
DSP (east) Manoj Kumar Pandey said the girl’s statement would be recorded in the court under Section 164 of CrPc. “Preliminary medical report has confirmed rape. Raids are on to arrest the accused,” he said, adding the police have sent the girl’s clothes to the forensic science laboratory for test.
