Girl gangraped in Uttar Pradesh; stick, cloth found in her private parts

New Delhi: In a gruesome incident, a 14-year-old girl was allegedly gangraped by her neighbours in Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh.

Three men on a bike picked up the girl and forced her to drink something that left her dizzy.

A medical test revealed that she was raped. A matchbox, cloth, plastic and an inch-long piece of wood were inserted in her private parts.

The girl in her statement said, “I had gone to buy biscuits and sweets in the morning, when a boy who lives next door told me that someone was waiting for me. When I went with him, two other boys joined him and tied me up. They took to me a field on a bike and committed the crime,” she said.

The rapists, who also threatened to kill her if she told anyone about the incident, slapped her repeatedly.

After being in a state of shock for three days, she broke down and confided in her cousin, who then helped her to file a complaint with the police. Two of the three men, have been arrested.

Badaun, has been in the spotlight after bodies of two cousins were found hanging from a tree.

Murky investigation, hostile witnesses and lack of cooperation from the state government put the district in limelight, for all the wrong reasons.

The CBI, which later took over the case said that the girls had committed suicide.
