Police are on the lookout for three youths for allegedly attempting to gang rape a minor girl in Shamli district, officials said today.
According to the complaint lodged by the victim's father, the 16-year-old girl had gone to relieve herself in the fields yesterday when the accused caught and took her to a nearby isolated spot, where they tried to rape her.
The accused fled from the spot after the minor girl resisted and raised an alarm for help, the complainant added.
A case was registered against the three under sections 376 and 511 of IPC and the POCSO Act, SHO O P Choudhury said.
All three accused are absconding, he said, adding that the police were looking for them.
