Updated: Feb 16th, 2025
A complaint has been registered at the Gandhigram police station by the parents of a minor girl who was allegedly raped by an Class 11 boy in Rajkot.
The incident occurred when the minor girl, a Class 9 student, visited a garden in Rajkot with her 5-year-old sister on Wednesday. An 11th-standard boy noticed her and asked for her Snapchat ID. As the girl did not have her own phone, she declined.
On Thursday, the girl returned to the garden with her sister. During their visit, the boy struck up a conversation with the girl. She mentioned that she would be going to a friend's house to apply henna for an upcoming function.
On Friday, the girl’s father dropped her off at her friend’s house. As she was leaving, the same boy arrived in a car and offered her a ride. When she refused, his friends who were seated in the back seat of the car, threatened to inform her father about her affair. Fearing their threats, she sat in the car.
The boy then drove the car to a secluded location near Nayara Petrol Pump near Aalap green city, and asked his friends to leave to get some snacks. Once alone, he sexually assaulted the girl.
When the girl did not return home on time, her parents became concerned and began searching for her. They eventually located her and learned about the incident.
A complaint was then registered at the Gandhigram police station under the POCSO Act. The police arrested the main accused and one of his friends with search on for the other friend.
The police have confirmed that both accused individuals are minors.
