Two minors detained for allegedly raping Class 8 girl in Indore

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Two minor boys were detained for allegedly gang-raping an eighth-grade girl in Malharganj on Thursday. One of the accused had called the girl to a place on the pretext of meeting his old friend.

Additional DCP (Zone-1) Alok Sharma told Free Press that in her complaint, the 15-year-old victim said that a few months ago she befriended a 16-year-old boy from Aerodrome area but later he stopped talking to her. Later she received a call from the boy's friend who asked her to come near a temple in the Polo Ground area on November 4.

However, on reaching the spot, he found a 16-year-old boy with a two-wheeler. Describing himself as the boy's friend, he said that the boy was waiting for him and took him to a house in Kaveri Nagar. However, at home, he allegedly sexually assaulted her.

The victim claimed that they tied her legs with a dupatta and also made a video of the incident. Later they left him somewhere. After remaining silent for two days, the victim shared her ordeal with her parents, who later took her to the Aerodrome police station to lodge a complaint.

The complaint was later lodged at Malharganj police station as the crime scene fell under its jurisdiction. The two accused boys, aged 16 and 17, have been detained and investigation is underway.
