A Valentine’s Day date turned out to be a nightmare for a girl who was allegedly raped by a youth in South Delhi’s Malviya Nagar area. A 17-year-old girl, student of Class XII of a Government school was raped by her neighbour in South Delhi’s Malviya area.
The accused, Irshad, a resident of Hauz Rani, has been arrested. The victim was taken to AIIMS Trauma Centre where her condition is stated to be critical. Police said that the victim, who would turn 18 on Saturday, knew the accused for the last six months.
“The incident occurred on Friday afternoon when the victim set out from home for school but instead went out with the accused to celebrate Valentine’s Day. They purportedly had intercourse during their meeting following which her condition deteriorated. Irshad then took the girl to Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital following which hospital authorities informed the police at around 3.00 pm,” the officer added.
The accused, who worked at a shopping mall, was arrested on the charges of rape (376) of the Indian Penal Code and several other sections of Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO),” the officer added.
