Bihar: 12-year-old gang-raped

Patna: A 12-year-old girl was gang-raped by three youths in a village here, police said Thursday. The crime took place two days ago and an FIR was lodged after intervention by senior officials.

The minor was gang-raped when she was going to her grand parents' house in Choti Kewai village from her native village Sigriyavan at a distance of about two km.

"Initially the police refused to lodge a first information report (FIR) when we informed about the incident. The police officials told us that it was a case of eve-teasing, not a gang-rape," the maternal uncle of the victim said.

"We then complained to senior police officials. After that, a case was registered (Wednesday)," he said.
