Teenage girl abducted for gang rape by criminals

Friday, 30 August 2019 | PNS | Jamshedpur

A teenage girl, while having a fun ride with her boyfriend, was abducted by a gang of five criminals on Dobo-Kanderbera Road under Kapali thana out-post (TOP) under Chandil police station area near Jamshedpur under Seraikela-Kharsawan district late on Wednesday night. The alleged victim is a resident of Jugsalai.

The criminals first attacked the victim's boyfriend and later, moved away along with the abducted girl who is 17 years of age.

The criminals, numbering 12, had tried to take the girl at a secluded place for gangrape, but the victim's boyfriend, Harshdeep Singh, had informed the police. Thus, cops from both Seraikela and Jamshedpur swung into action and started searching for the girl. Succumbing to pressure, the criminals dropped the victim near Tatanagar station around midnight. Harshdeep Singh is a resident of Golpahari in Parsudih.

The victim has been admitted at the MGM Medical College & Hospital for treatment. Seraikela-Kharsawan SP, Karthik S, said that they are taking the statement from the victim and only then will a case be registered with the Kapali TOP.

"We are investigating the incident. The victim is currently undergoing treatment.  We are taking statement from her so that we may register a case in this connection. We are trying to identify the criminals involved in the crime, but after the girl, who is still in shock, gives her statement, we will be able to go ahead with the investigation," said Karthik.

Harshdeep (23), who studies BBA at Chandigarh, had come home on vacation and had taken his girl-friend along for a ride.

According to Harshdeep, after they reached Domuhani bridge by his car, they had spent some time over the bridge.

"After spending sometime there, we headed towards Kanderbera on the Dobo-Kanderbera road which connects the Domuhani bridge. As we were about to reach Kanderbera, five armed youth stopped us. They assaulted me and the girl. Later, they forced me to go away from the spot and had disappeared having taken the girl along," said the youth. After this, he called his friends in the city who informed the police.

Police officials from five police stations, including Azadnagar, Mango, Bistupur and Jugsalai, were searching for the abducted girl along the unlit Dobo-Kandera road and also in the adjoining residential area as well as in the bushes. Later, the criminals dropped the victim near Tatanagar station around midnight.
