Kanpur: A local journalist has been arrested and a police constable’s role is also under investigation in connection with the alleged abduction and gang rape of a 14-year-old girl in Kanpur’s Sachendi area of Uttar Pradesh state of India.<\/p>\nKanpur: A local journalist has been arrested and a police constable’s role is also under investigation in connection with the alleged abduction and gang rape of a 14-year-old girl in Kanpur’s Sachendi area of Uttar Pradesh state of India.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, officials said the minor, a class 7 dropout, had stepped out of her home on Monday night when she was allegedly abducted by two men travelling in a vehicle. One of the accused was wearing a police uniform.<\/p>\n
The girl told the police that she was taken to a deserted location near a railway track in Sachendi, where she was allegedly sexually assaulted inside the vehicle for nearly two hours. She was later abandoned in an unconscious state outside her house, they said.<\/p>\n
The victim’s brother said he found her lying outside the house around midnight in a semi-conscious condition, according to the complaint. He said he immediately alerted the police via phone, but alleged that no prompt action was taken.<\/p>\n
The family later approached senior officials on Tuesday, following which an FIR was registered under sections related to kidnapping and gang rape.<\/p>\n
The girl’s brother alleged that when the family informed the police personnel that one of the accused was a policeman, they were turned away from a local police outpost.<\/p>\n
Only after approaching senior officers the case was registered, he claimed, adding that the names of the accused were initially omitted from the complaint.<\/p>\n
“An FIR was initially registered against unknown persons under sections related to abduction and gang rape apart from under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Dinesh Tripathi told the media.<\/p>\n
“During the investigation, the involvement of a police constable and a local journalist identified as Shivbaran came to light. The journalist has been taken into custody and is currently being questioned,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
