Lucknow: A 13 year old dalit girl was allegedly gang raped by three people in Lucknow’s Hazratganj area on Monday night. The crime came to light when the victim’s elder sister noticed injuries and bloodstains on her clothes Tuesday morning and coaxed her to reveal the ordeal.
Police said the accused, known to the family, lured the girl from her home while her relatives slept. The victim was abandoned near her residence after the assault. CCTV footage from the area reportedly shows the suspects, and mobile tower data is being analyzed.
“The victim identified the perpetrators. We’re verifying evidence before arrests,” said ACP Hazratganj Vikas Jaiswal. The girl is currently unable to provide a detailed statement.
