A girl studying in Class 6 was raped and sodomised by four juveniles staying in her neighbourhood here, police said Thursday.
The juveniles have been apprehended and sent to a reformatory home.
The incident occurred in west Delhi's Adarsh Nagar Tuesday.
"One of the juveniles contacted the victim when she was returning from school. He took her to an isolated place where his other three associates joined them. They raped and sodomised the girl and threatened her with dire consequences," a police officer said.
The girl was found in an unconscious condition and was rushed to a hospital where a medical report confirmed sexual assault.
"All the accused are in the age group of 13 to 17. They were apprehended on the basis of information provided by the girl. They were sent to a juvenile home Wednesday," the police officer said.
