A shocking case of rape of a minor girl has come to the fore from Vadhwan in Gujarat’s Surendranagar district. In the incident, an orphan girl from a Muslim family was brutally raped by her uncle and other acquaintances. The girl has allegedly been raped for several months. The girl became pregnant as a result of continued sexual exploitation.
The rape of the minor girl in Vadhwan has caused a stir in the area. The accused in the case has been identified as the victim’s uncle (the husband of her father’s sister/fufa) Rehman (name changed).
According to the reports, a girl from a Muslim family in Vadhawan, Surendranagar, stayed at her aunt’s house after her parents passed away. The 16-year-old orphan girl was raped by her own uncle Rehman.
Following this, Salman, Amir, Abdul, and Mohammad (all names changed to protect the minor victim’s identity) also sexually assaulted the minor. Salman and Amir are also accused of frequently taking the girl on a bike to various locations and raping her. The horrific crimes of the accused persons came to light after the girl was found six months pregnant.
