Kolkata, Nov 3: A 14-year-old girl studying in Class 7 was allegedly gangraped by three youths in Kolkata’s Dum Dum area on Saturday evening while returning home from tuition classes.

According to police, one of the accused, who was known to the girl, lured her to a nearby park where two others joined him. The trio then forcibly took her on an e-rickshaw to a shanty at some distance and sexually assaulted her. Later, the accused allowed her to leave but warned her not to reveal the incident to anyone.

Following a complaint filed by the girl, police immediately launched a probe and arrested all three accused on Saturday night. The victim was sent for a medical examination to determine the nature of the assault.

A case has been registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and further investigation is underway.

Meanwhile, BJP activists staged a protest outside the Dum Dum police station on Sunday, demanding stringent action against the culprits and justice for the survivor.

Police officials have assured that the investigation will be carried out swiftly and that the victim will be provided necessary medical and psychological support.
