Four Muslim youths who are history sheeters in Maharashtra’s Sangli district on Thursday (28 January) evening drugged and raped a 13-year-old minor girl.
As per reports, the minor was drugged by Kamil Nadaf, Farhan Dalait, Furkhan, and Farukh Dalait. As of now Farhan Dalait has been arrested and charged under various sections of the POSCO Act.
After the girl was raped, a complaint was registered by the girl’s mother. In her statement to the police, she said that the girl was kidnapped by the four accused from near their residence and was taken behind Miraj’s Masterchef Hotel, where she was supposedly injected with a drug to make her unconscious and then raped.
At present, the girl is receiving treatment at Sangli Civil Hospital and her condition is said to be delicate.
All the four suspected rapists have a long criminal history and one of them was arrested under POSCO earlier because he was accused in the Miraj riots case. Considering their criminal history, demands have been raised for a speedy investigation by the police and conviction of all the accused.
Miraj City Police Station Senior Police Inspector Raju Tehsildar has stated that they have recorded the girl’s statement as well and have undertaken investigations accordingly. Further, Farhan Dalait has been charged under sections 342, 354, 363, 376, 504, and POSCO Act. While Farhan has been taken into custody, police officials have said that further investigations are ongoing and subsequent action would be initiated on the basis of their investigations.
