PUDUCHERRY: A youth and his seven friends drugged and raped the youth's 16-year-old girlfriend in a village in the Union territory of Puducherry, police have said. The incident comes less than a week after more than 20 men were found to have sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl in an apartment complex in Chennai over seven months and police arrested 17 suspects.
The Puducherry police on Friday registered a case against Vicky of Vazhudavur, Mugilan, Kannadasan, Surya, Ashok, Deva, Soorya and Kalai. Specials teams have been formed to nab them.
A police officer said the girl, a school dropout, was working in a private firm and came in contact with Vicky while travelling to work daily. If convicted, accused may get 10-year jail
The two soon became friends and Vicky often invited her to his village. During one such visit, he took her to a secluded spot and raped her, the officer said, quoting from the complaint lodged by the girl's parents with the child welfare committee. Vicky, who reportedly filmed the act on his mobile phone, showed the clips to his friends who insisted that he introduce her to them. About a week ago, Vicky again invited the girl to his house. When she arrived, he took her to an abandoned house in the village where he offered her a soft drink laced with sedatives. When she fell unconscious, Vicky and his friends raped her and escaped, the officer said. The girl, who had suffered severe internal injuries in the sexual assault, on gaining consciousness, escaped from the house and reached home. She narrated the incident to her parents, who preferred to approach the child welfare committee to seek action against the culprits.The committee members, after recording the statement of the survivor, lodged a complaint with the jurisdictional police. A case was registered under Section 6 (punishment for aggravated penetrative sexual assault) of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act, 2012. If convicted, the eight shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term, which shall not be less than 10 years, but which may extend to imprisonment for life and shall also be liable to fine.
