Police
said that survivor’s father alleged on Monday that Jai Prakash made a call to
the girl on her mobile and asked her to step out and meet him at a spot on the
outskirts of the village where he was present along with his three friends in a
car.
Four
persons, including a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) trooper and the son of
a retired jailor, have been arrested for allegedly abducting a Class 10 student
in a car, which had a police logo painted on it, and gang-raping her at a
deserted place in Uttar Pradesh’s Mirzapur, the police said on Tuesday.
A case has been registered for kidnapping
and gang rape, and under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences
(POCSO) Act, said Deviver Shukla, the inspector of Halia police station. All
the four accused have been arrested and are likely to be presented before a
magistrate on Wednesday, police said.
The girl, 15, was allegedly assaulted on
Monday at an isolated place in Halia, which is 50 km off district headquarters
Mirzapur. The incident comes amid a nationwide outrage over several cases of
crimes against children and women over the past week, including the gang rape
and brutal killing of a 26-year-old veterinarian from Hyderabad by four men on
November 28.
The police officer said one of the
arrested persons, Jai Prakash Maurya, is the son of retired jailor, Brijlal
Maurya. Jai Prakash’s sister had settled in a village in Halia after marriage
and he had been visiting her house several times in the last few months during
which he befriended the teenager, according to the police.
Police said that survivor’s father alleged
on Monday that Jai Prakash made a call to the girl on her mobile and asked her
to step out and meet him at a spot on the outskirts of the village where he was
present along with his three friends in a car.
Jai Prakash then forcibly took her to an
isolated location, where all four allegedly raped her, police said.
The car, in which the girl and all four
persons were travelling, was intercepted by policemen on duty for checking
while it was on its way to the girl’s village in Halia. The car belongs to Jai
Prakash Mauya, an official said, adding probe is on to find out how he got a
police logo painted on it.
As the car stopped, the girl started
crying, raising an alarm. The policeman on duty took the four men and the girl
to the police station.
Police said the girl narrated her ordeal
to her father after which he registered a case against all four persons — Jai
Prakash, Luv Kumar Pal, Ganesh Prasad and CRPF constable Mahendra Kumar Yadav,
who is posted in Sultanpur.
Superintendent of police, Mirzapur, Dharm
Veer, said all four accused have been sent for medical examination.
