Four held in Gurgaon for raping minor sisters

Four people were arrested here Sunday on the charge of gang-raping two minor sisters, police said.

Accused Ram Avatar (50), Ram Kishan (45), Mantosh (30) and Ombir from Binola village were arrested for allegedly gang-raping the sisters.

"One of the accused is a landlord of the victims who took a house on rent a month ago. They gang-raped the two sisters, aged 13 and 16 years, Saturday night," Joint Police Commissioner Vivek Sharma told IANS.

The accused have been booked under charges of gang-rape, criminal intimidation, vacating house forcibly after beating and under Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.

The family from Madhya Pradesh's Shahdol district rented the house in the village, some 30 km on the Delhi-Jaipur highway from Gurgaon.

The victims' family managed to reach the civil hospital here and narrate the gang-rape incident to a doctor.

Police were informed but the accused said the family did not have Rs.800 to pay as rent and when their belongings were thrown out, they have alleged gang-rape.

"Following medical examination of the sisters, the accused were arrested," the officer added.
