Kabadis (ragmen/scrap dealers) entered a residence in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, and sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The primary culprit, Faizan, has been taken into custody after the accused fled from the spot. Rehan, Rashid and Wasim are the names of the other culprits. The family stated that the girl had been gang-raped. People also demonstrated demanding the arrest of all the accused. They protested in front of the police station in the Brijvihar area on 29th August evening and asked for the perpetrators to be hanged immediately.
They also vandalised the items and vehicles outside the accused’s shop. An e-rickshaw was set on fire. The matter is related to two communities and the authorities are present at the scene due to the tense situation. The victim girl’s aunt revealed that all male and female members of the house had gone to work on 28th August. Meanwhile, three to four boys who buy and sell junk broke into the house by jumping over the back gate while the youngster was alone there. She was physically assaulted and they sexually violated her when she became unconscious.

Assistant Police Commissioner Rajneesh Upadhyay mentioned that the girl’s mother lodged a complaint at Link Road Police Station on 29th August morning. He added that she wrote about how her daughter was thrashed and raped by a scrap dealer who belonged to another community, in her complaint. A case has been filed on the complaint and one accused has been arrested. Hindu organisations have also raised their voice against the crime. Hindu leader Ashish Pal unveiled that anti-social elements regularly assembled near the accused’s scrap shop and the local criminals have no fear of the police. The cops are now probing the charge of gang-rape and the matter is under inquiry.
On the other hand, the police reported that when the minor’s mother and other family members arrived at the police station early on 29th August, they had charged only one person with rape. A First Information Report was filed right away and the offender was apprehended. However, they are now accusing three or four youths of gang rape, according to the cops and hence the matter will be investigated thoroughly.
