Dehradun: Five boys between the age of 9 and 14 years have been arrested for allegedly gang-raping an 8-year-old girl in Sahaspur. The initial probe has found that the boys allegedly raped the girl on July 12, two days after watching pornography.
According to a Hindustan Times report, police said that the girl was lured into one of the accused house with a chocolate as boys had planned the rape. The boys belong to families of labourers and are students of classes 6 and 9.
The five boys lured the girl when she was playing outside her house while her parents had gone out for some work.
Narendra Rathore, Sahaspur station house officer said, “One of the boys stood to guard house’s main door while other took turns to rape her. When they were committing the crime, one of the boys saw the elder brother of 10-year-old accused coming towards the house. Then they asked the girl to go home.”
Rathore added that the girl was traumatised that she refused to have dinner. Later in the night when her mother insisted, the girl broke down and narrated her ordeal.
The case came to light after the parents of the victim filed the case on Sunday. The accused were later arrested.
