Minor girl betrayed by friend, gang-raped

A minor walked into a trap laid by a close friend of hers, also a girl, and was allegedly gangraped by four youths on Friday.

The victim was returning home from school, when she came across her friend, who then took her to a different road on some pretext.

The unsuspecting minor was bundled into a waiting car and was taken to the house of the friend.

The friend of the victim also boarded the car, police sources said quoting the victim.
The culprits, who already knew the victim’s friend, allegedly gangraped the class 12th student and fled leaving her bleeding profusely.

The traumatised minor, in a bid to flee from there, jumped into a neighbour’s house and fainted.

The local villagers informed the family members of the minor, who then rushed her to the hospital in Jhansi town where her condition was stated to be stable.

The victim narrated her plight after regaining consciousness. A case has been registered against four unidentified youths and the friend of the victim.

All of them are absconding.It was not immediately clear as to what prompted the friend of the minor to get her assaulted. “We are investigating the case from various angles and will be in a position to arrive at something concrete only after interrogating the friend of the victim,” police officials said.
