LUCKNOW: A girl was allegedly raped inside a police outpost in Badaun city late on Sunday night. The accused has been identified as a 'civilian friend' of the cops posted at the outpost that comes under City Kotwali police station. 

The victim is a native of Rampur district in Uttar Pradesh. She along with her maternal grandfather had gone to offer prayers at a Durgah in the city where two police constables on duty held them for their "suspicious movement". The duo were taken to the Lalpul police outpost for questioning. 

The two cops - later identified as Altaf and Wajid - reportedly left them at the outpost where their fellow constable Sumit was on duty. Sometime later, a local youth Gopal reportedly arrived at the police outpost and first manhandled the girl's grandfather and then dragged the victim away to another room where she was allegedly raped. 

All three constables and the accused have been detained by the police and the victim has been sent for medical examination. 

Senior superintendent of police ( SSP) Badaun RK Srivastava said if rape was confirmed in the medical examination, then all the three cops and the civilian would be booked for it.
