Minor girl gang-raped in Andhra Pradesh

Amaravati: In a shocking incident in Andhra Pradesh’s Kadapa district, a minor Dalit girl was repeatedly gang-raped by a youth and his friends, impregnating her.

The minor was making a living by begging near a place of worship in Proddatur town after the death of her mother.

A youth along with his friends had been sexually assaulting the girl for last few months. The incident came to light after she became pregnant.

After the locals informed the police, a lady constable recorded her statement.

There have been allegations that the local police tried to cover-up the crime by not registering a case against the



accused.

The police have shifted the victim to an ashram.

However, Kadapa District Superintendent of Police Anburajan on Thursday denied that there was a delay in registering a case.

He said a case was booked on Wednesday and four accused were arrested.

The police investigations revealed that the girl was gang-raped by two youth about six months ago. Two more youth sexually assaulted her four months ago.

The SP said the girl was sent for medical examination. Additional SP Pujita has been sent to Prodattur to investigate the case.
