BHOPAL: A 14-year-old dalit girl was gang-raped at village Chandera near Multai on March 4 and the police arrested three people for the crime in Betul district of Madhya Pradesh on Monday. Another accused, a former sarpanch, is absconding.
Police said the accused forcibly entered the girl's house at village Chandera when she was alone and gang-raped her. The victim's mother had gone to meet her eldest daughter when the incident took place.
The girl narrated the incident to her mother when she returned but it took almost a week for the family to muster courage to report the matter to the police. The victim accompanied by her mother reached Multai police station and lodged a complaint naming four people, including a former sarpanch.
The police arrested Arjun, Shankar Kumbi and Ashok Gond on the basis of the girl's complaint and slapped rape charges and cases under the provisions of SC ST Atrocities Prevention Act against them. Police said accused Vasudev Gond, identified as a former sarpanch, is absconding.
In the last two months there has been a spurt in the number of cases of sexual assault on women. The police claimed that the increase in number of registered crimes was because of the prompt action being taken in lodging an FIR as soon as complaints are received.
