Noida:
In yet another incident highlighting the continued apathy towards women, a minor Dalit girl has alleged that the police did not register a case after she was repeatedly gang-raped over four days allegedly by a group of men in a village in Noida near Delhi.
The girl, 14, was attending a wedding in Salarpur village on April 17 when she was abducted allegedly by seven men. When her family approached the police, they allegedly refused to lodge a complaint. The girl, meanwhile, was gang-raped several times allegedly by five men, and was then dumped at a secluded spot on April 20, close to the place from where she had been kidnapped.
When the girl, along with her family, again went to the local police to file a first information report (FIR), the cops allegedly refused again. The cops, in fact, allegedly urged the teen and the family to agree to a compromise with the accused.
A case of rape has now been filed after the matter was brought to the knowledge of senior police officials. The accused, though, are on the run.
