Three minors were allegedly raped in three incidents while a Delhi Police Sub-Inspector suspended after his live-in-partner lodged a rape case against him.

In the first incident, a 14-year-old student was allegedly gang-raped by two of her neighbours, who kidnapped her when she was returning home from a nearby market in South-West Delhi’s Kapashera area. Police said that the accused, identified as Gaurav (19) and Rohit (19), worked for a private company.

“The incident took place on Tuesday evening when the victim, a Class X student of a Government school, was returning home from a nearby market,” a senior police officer said.

In another incident, Delhi police has arrested a 28-year-old Rishipal, for allegedly kidnapping and raping a 15-year-old girl in Chankyapuri area.

In the third incident, a 14-year-old girl was kidnapped and gang-raped by three persons in Uttar Pradesh’s Badaun. She was kidnapped from South Delhi’s Neb Sarai area on June 5.

“A team of south district police rescued from Badaun on Wednesday. One person identified as Jarib Ahmad (28), has been arrested while his relative is on run. The absconding person, who was known to the girl, had lured her to his native place,” the officer added.

In a separate incident, a Delhi Police Sub-Inspector was placed under suspension as he was facing allegations of rape.

“Hukum Singh posted with IP Estate police station has been suspended as he was found involved in a rape case in North East Delhi’s Welcome area. Few weeks ago, a rape case was registered against Singh at Welcome police station,” the officer added.

A Sub-Inspector of 2009 batch, Singh belongs to Gaya district in Bihar and had met the woman, a divorcee during his training at Police Training College (PTC) at Jharoda. He is on the run.
