Two persons were arrested today for allegedly raping a teenaged deaf and dumb girl in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir, police said.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) led by SP Reasi, M S Chouhan, apprehended two persons- Mohan Singh and Qubla Singh- in connection with the alleged rape of a 16-year-old deaf and dumb girl in Bagh Kotli village of Reasi district on September 3, they said.
The two miscreants confessed to their crime after they were identified by the minor during an identification parade along with others, the official said.
On September 3, the victim was intercepted by the motorbike-borne accused when she was on her way back home from a shop. The duo dragged her to a nearby field and raped her before fleeing from the spot.
