In a horrific incident in Delhi, a 16-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped by two neighbours in Timarpur area on Wednesday afternoon. While one of the accused was nabbed from the spot, locals chased and caught the other.
According to the police the incident took place near a drain in Timarpur’s Nehru Vihar area. The victim was returning home from the local market on Wednesday when the two men dragged her into the bushes nearby and raped her.
‘A passerby heard noises from the bushes. He informed a beat constable Ajay who was nearby. With the help of the man the constable managed to catch one of the accused Kapil (23) red-handed,’ said a senior police official.
The other accused Krishan (24), however, managed to escape from the spot. But locals chased him for some distance and eventually they managed to nab him too. The victim was sent for a medical test, which confirmed rape.
The girl, who dropped out of school sometime ago and was living with her parents in the area, knew the two accused from before as they have been neighbours for quite some time.
However, police said the girl has not complained of harassment in any form by the two accused in the past. ‘The two youths probably made the plan that day and quietly followed her till she reached an isolated spot,’ said a police official.
Kapil works as a carpenter whereas Krishan is employed at a stationery store in Timarpur.
