A 14-year-old girl was allegedly raped by three persons in a village in Muzaffarnagar, police said on Thursday, 21 June.
The incident took place on Wednesday, 20 June, when she had gone to take water from a hand pump near her house, police said.
The girl was taken to a house by the youths and raped at gunpoint. One of the perpetrators made a video of the incident. They also threatened her with dire consequences, circle officer (CO) Rajiv Kumar Singh said.
He said a case was registered against the three accused on a complaint by the girl’s father. The accused are at large, the CO said.
They have been booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including rape, and provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, the officer said.
