The Uttar Pradesh Police have arrested two people for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl in a moving vehicle in Greater Noida last week, ANI reported on Tuesday. They are still looking for one other person.
The Class 11 student told the police that she was returning from school around 2.30 pm on April 18 when three people offered her a lift in their car as she had missed her bus, The Times of India reported.
“One of them was a distant relative who had come from Palwal while another was her classmate. Since she knew the boys, she decided to accompany them in the car,” Greater Noida Station Officer Ram Bhawan Singh said. “But they allegedly held her captive and forced themselves upon her one by one.”
The men, who had also allegedly gagged her, dumped her near Greater Noida’s Knowledge Park area around 1 am the next day. The police found the girl in an unconscious state.
Based on a complaint filed by the girl’s father, the police have registered an FIR under Indian Penal Code Sections 376D (gangrape), 363 (kidnapping) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
