The police have arrested a youth, identified as Balia Bhoi, from Lahanga village on the charges of raping a minor girl on Thursday.
Reports said that Bhoi had been maintaining a love affair with the minor since months. On Wednesday night, he was spotted with the minor in the latter’s house in objectionable position. The parents of the girl had locked the duo from outside and called Bhoi’s guardians for settlement of the case without police action.
Later on Thursday, local gentlemen and youth’s father came at minor girl’s house and finally it was decided that Bhoi has to marry the minor girl after she attains the marriageable age. However, the proposal was discarded by Bhoi’s father. As a result, an FIR was lodged from the minor girl’s side.
