AHMEDABAD: A 16-year-old handicapped girl was raped by two teenagers at her house in Gomtipur on Thursday when she was alone. The duo was caught red-handed by the girl's parents when they came back home.

Shocked by the incident the couple shouted out for help as the boys tried to get away. Hearing their shouts for help neighbours poured in and helped the girl's parents to catch the two boys. Later, they called the Gomtipur police officials to the spot.

"We placed the duo under arrest at the scene of crime. The boys were sent to the remand home on Friday. In addition, the girl and the two teens were sent for medical examination on Thursday. Medicos will collect samples of their body fluids which may help us get evidence against the accused minors in this case," said Gomtipur police officials.

Gomtipur police said Fatima (name changed), 16, a resident of Gomtipur, had complications during her birth and due to that she had deformed left hand and leg. She also had trouble speaking, said Gomtipur police officials.

"Her parents usually kept a close watch over her, owing to her poor mental condition. But on Thursday, they had to briefly leave her alone at home. They went out to take part in a funeral of a relative. The couple thought it best to keep the girl in the house and bolted it from the outside when they went for the last rites," said police.

"Taking advantage of the situation, two teens Sajjad, 16, and Kushen, 17, who stay nearby opened the latch and entered the house. The duo then raped took turns in raping her. The boys were about to leave when Fatima's parents arrived on the scene and were aghast. They called police on the spot after which the duo was arrested for the crime. They have confessed to their crime. They were quite confident that the act will remain a secret and had planned their attack in advance. We have sent them to the remand home on Friday after court proceedings," said V M Sharma, inspector of Gomtipur police station.
