Guna (Madhya Pradesh): A day after a 15-year-old girl was abducted and allegedly gang-raped, scores of Guna people, including women and the girl students came on the road and demanded stringent action against the accused.
They staged a protest on Binaganj – Chachoda road for around three hours. Former MLA and BJP leader Mamta Meena and sitting Congress MLA Laxman Singh also joined the protest and demanded local police and administration take stern action against those who are involved in the crime. People ended their protests only after getting assurance from the police and administration.
After some time, women and students rushed to the Chachoda SDM office, where they gheraoed SDM office. They demanded the administration to bulldoze the properties of the accused as well as took the foot march of the accused.
Earlier, on Friday evening, a girl was found unconscious behind a house. Police have registered a case against five accused under the POCSO Act and kidnapping. Three of them, including a minor have also been arrested. People claimed that a total of nine persons have been involved in the kidnapping of the girl student.
In-charge SP Vinod Chauhan said that a case has been registered on the complaint of the girl’s father. When the girl's father got a call, he reached the spot along with some people, where they saw the accused running away from the spot. Since the girl's father already knew the accused, on this basis, he made a named complaint and the police arrested 3 accused.
Father suspects something wrong happened with daughter
The girl’s father informed that his daughter is a 10th-class student and on Friday morning she left for school. She used to return home at 4.30 pm, but when it was too late, we initially thought she could be at her friend’s place. But when she did not return till late evening, we decided to begin her search.
Meanwhile, after some time we got a call and the person on the other side informed us that the girl was lying behind a house.
When we reached there, we saw our daughter in an unconscious state. We took her to Binaganj Health Centre for treatment, and from there she was referred to Guna.
The girl’s father suspected that something wrong happened to his daughter. They claimed that the number of accused involved in the crime is 9.
Notice for building permission issued to the accused
Collector Frank Noble A said that three accused have been arrested. The revenue department has given them the notice to show the building permit documents within the next 24 hours and if they fail, the department will take legal action. Statement of the girl has already been recorded and based on that, more sections can also be added in the case.
