A minor girl of Chaura village under Sinapali police station limits here has alleged that she was raped by a youth of the village.
The accused has been identified as Iswar Hati. Though Hati belongs to Ranimunda village under Khariar police station, he was staying in Chaura village at his uncle’s house and reading in a nearby college in Plus II class.
The girl aged about 14 years alleged that she was forcibly taken by Hati to his uncle’s house at about 12 am on May 13 last after intercepting her on her way to home and was raped there , when the family members were absent.
Teka Chhatria, father of the girl, lodged an FIR in the Sinapali police station on May 20 and a case U/s 376 of the IPC and Sec 4 of the Protection of Child Against Sexual Harassment Act, 2012, was registered. The police are yet to conduct an inquiry although more than 15 days have passed.
“I have been running several times to the police station and pleading the authorities for action but they are not taking any step,” charged Chhatria, adding that the Sinapali IIC has asked him to trace out Hati, who is now at large.
Meanwhile, the victim girl and her father have met the Sub Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) at Khariar and the latter has assured the duo of prompt action against the culprit.
