Jagatpuri gangrape: Police conduct raids in Delhi-NCR region

Police today conducted several raids in the Delhi-NCR region in connection with the alleged gangrape of a 17-year-old girl at her residence in east Delhi's Jagatpuri area.

However, no arrest has been made in the case, they said.

The girl lives with her elder sister and brother-in-law and the accused, who came to her house on the pretext of looking for their pet dog, were known to them, said police.

"A case under Section 376D of IPC has been registered and a police team is searching for the three who fled after the incident," DCP (East) B S Gurjar said.
 

The incident took place around two days ago and the victim's sister and brother-in-law were not at home at that time, said police.

In her complaint, the girl told the police that the accused men locked the door from inside and allegedly raped her taking turns. They also locked the room in which the victim's nephews were playing, they said.

The victim managed to scream, following which one of her cousins, who lives in the neighboring house, came to her rescue. The accused also assaulted the boy who tried to stop them while they were running away, police said.
