A Class 4 girl student of a government school was allegedly molested and subsequently raped by two men, including a 45-year-old, in Patel Nagar area of central Delhi, the police said on Tuesday.
The police sources revealed that the two accused identified as Anil Kumar, 45, and Mohammed Umar, 24, have been arrested on Monday and they have been charged with molestation and raping the 11-year-old girl in Patel Nagar.
Sources revealed that Umar, who lives in the same building where the victim stays with her family, had allegedly molested the girl a week back when she was alone at her residence.
“The girl, however, resisted his advances. Sensing danger, the accused escaped from the spot. He, however, threatened the victim not to narrate the incident to her parents,” DCP central Delhi, Vivek Kishore said.
Emboldened by the victim’s silence, the accused along with his associate Anil, sorted out a plan to lure the girl and rape her. “They took her hostage inside a room in the building where they lived and raped her one by one. The accused later threatened the victim not to narrate the incident to her parents,” a source said.
