New Delhi: Two minor sisters were allegedly gang raped by their landlord’s son and his three friends in Gurgaon area on Saturday. The sisters were taken away from their home by the four accused.
The sisters, who are 13 and 16, have clarified to the police that a few people barged into their home on Saturday night, locked up the rest of the family in one room and took away the sisters to a nearby building. After allegedly gang-raping the girls, the attackers locked them up and ran away. The sisters and their family remained locked up until the neighbours found them the next morning.
The sisters had come to live with their brother just recently in the house in Binola village, a few kilometres away from Gurgaon.
After knowing what had happened, the family went to the police. The four accused, Ram Avatar, 50, Ram Kishan, 45, Mantosh, 30, and Ombir have been arrested under charges for sexual crimes against children.
The accused men have claimed that the sisters accused them of rape because their family was thrown out for not paying Rs. 800 as rent. A medical examination, however, confirmed rape.
The sisters have alleged that the landlord's son often harassed them. The police said their brother had complained to the landlord, which led to the attack.
