What allegedly happened?
The girl had visited her paternal aunt's residence in Banjari before Diwali and was returning to Tilouthu on Tuesday evening. She requested an auto-rickshaw driver, who already had two guys in his car, to transport her to Tilouthu.
Instead of transporting the woman to her destination, the three guys transported her to Barun, where they reportedly sexually attacked her in a room. The auto-rickshaw driver then returned the victim to Tilouthu and reportedly attempted to leave after abandoning the girl in a remote location.
According to the police, the child sounded an alert, and the authorities were able to track down and arrest the driver with the help of residents.
Given the seriousness of the situation, a complaint of kidnapping and gangrape was filed with Tilouthu police station, and Rohtas superintendent of police (SP) Mr Raj established a special police squad led by SHO Subham Kumar to apprehend the last two offenders.
The accused driver revealed the identities of his colleagues and co-villagers, who were also apprehended from their hiding in Aurangabad. The autorickshaw used to commit the crime has also been retrieved.
The SP stated that additional legal action is being taken.
