Uttar Pradesh: Taufiq and Shadab take turns to rape minor Hindu Dalit girl, thrash victim’s mother

Additional SP (East) Manoj Kumar Rawat informed, "Two men of another community, residents of the same village, dragged the girl into the field and raped her."

On Friday (19th July), a minor Dalit Hindu girl was raped by two men in a village in Gonda district of Uttar Pradesh.

As per reports, the accused were identified as Shadab and Taufiq. The incident took place when the 16-year-old victim had stepped out of her house to urinate.

The minor girl was accompanied by her mother at that time. Meanwhile, Shadab and Taufiq dragged the victim to a nearby field and took turns to rape her. They also thrashed the girl’s mother so much so that she became unconscious.

When the villagers and family members of the Hindu Dalit girl reached the spot on hearing her screams, the accused fled the scene. Shadab and Taufiq were residents of the same village.

While escaping from the spot, the duo left their motorcycles behind. The police have arrested Shadab while Taufiq is still on the run from the law enforcement authorities. A team has been deployed in the village to prevent any untoward incident.

The police registered a case against the two men. While speaking about the matter on Saturday (20th July), Additional SP (East) Manoj Kumar Rawat remarked, “Two men of another community, residents of the same village, dragged the girl into the field and raped her.”
