An eight-year-old girl was allegedly gangraped by four minor boys in a slum under the Khandagiri police station in the city recently.
The matter came to light after the Khandagiri police produced the four boys before the Juvenile Justice Board on Friday.
Reportedly, the boys aged between eight and 13 years had called the girl while she was playing alone at the slum. As she knew the boys, she went with them without doubting their intentions.
The boys then took her to an isolated place and outraged her modesty. The victim informed her mother about the incident. Some people in the slum tried to suppress the matter, but the victim’s mother informed the police about it.
Based on the complaint, police detained the boys on Thursday night and conducted their medical tests. Later, the statements of the boys were recorded in which they all confessed to the crime.
