Badaun: Two minor girls were allegedly kidnapped and gang-raped at gun point by five persons in Jareef Nagar area, almost a year after a similar incident in the district had stirred Uttar Pradesh and opposition had attacked the government over law and order.
When the girls did not return home on time, their relatives went looking for them and they heard the girls screaming for help. They rescued the girls and handed the accused over to the police.
The accused, two of them brothers, held the girls captive at gun point when they had ventured out of home for some work, Senior Superintendent of Police Saumitra Yadav said, adding the girls were gang-raped by them.
"A case has been lodged and the girls were sent for medical examination," the SSP said. Their medical examination report is awaited, police said.
In 2014, two cousins, aged 14 and 15, went missing from their house on the night of May 27 and their bodies were found hanging from a tree in the village in Ushait area the next day.
They were allegedly raped and hanged with a tree. However, later, CBI in its probe said that the girls were neither murdered nor raped and had committed suicides. The case is sub judice.
