A 15-year-old girl was abducted, gang-raped and abandoned at an isolated place by five persons in Bihar’s Vaishali district on the intervene night of Thursday and Friday, police said.
Vaishali superintendent of police (SP) Ravi Ranjan Kumar told HT that four of the accused persons have been arrested and they are in the age group of 18 and 19.
A first information report (FIR) was lodged against the five people based on a statement of the girl’s grandmother. She said that the incident happened when the girl had gone to attend nature’s call.
