Five constables of Chandigarh Police have been booked on Thursday, who repeatedly gang-raped a minor girl over a period of several months. A case of repeated gang-rape of a minor girl at gunpoint, has been registered against Akshay Kumar, Jagtar Singh, Sunil Kumar, Anil and Himmat, all posted on PCR duty, said sources in police.
Sources added that the case came to light on Thursday when the victim (16), a Class X student, was going to commit suicide. She was noticed by her brother and he informed the local area councillor.
The victim in her complaint to police has said that three months before she had made a phone call on Chandigarh police control room after she was beaten by her father in a drunken condition. A PCR vehicle, driven by Akshay Kumar, reached her house at Khuda lahora on the complaint and took her to the local police station.
During further investigation of the incident, she became friend with Akshay, who later took her to his rented accommodation at Khuda lahora where he along with Jagtar, Sunil, Anil and Himmat raped her at gunpoint, said the victim.
She further added that the five accused raped her repeatedly over the period of three months. In the meantime, they also gave her contraceptive pills too when she became pregnant. On Thursday, the victim was noticed by her brother, while she was going to commit suicide. She explained the entire matter to her brother, who later informed local area councillor Saurabh Joshi about it and lodged an FIR at PS Sector 11.
Meanwhile a case against the five accused — Akshay, Jagtar, Sunil, Anil and Himmat — has been registered by police. “We will pressurise the police to take strict action against the accused as soon as possible,” said Saurabh Joshi, area councillor of Khuda lahora.
