Abduction, assault and return of 15-year-old student; vehicle set ablaze during protests
April 23, 2026
According to the FIR, around 8:00 am on April 23, 2026, a Class 9 student walking to her government school was abducted when an SUV stopped, two men forcibly dragged her inside, and her hands were tied with a blindfold. A third person joined on the way. She was taken to an unknown location, where the blindfold was removed and all three men reportedly took turns sexually assaulting her and filmed the assault; they allegedly threatened to kill her brother if she told anyone. The girl was blindfolded again, and the vehicle was driven back to the original location, returning around 1:00 pm. On seeing an angry crowd, the attackers abandoned the vehicle and fled. Locals alerted her brother, who brought her home. Locals protested and the burnt vehicle was taken into police custody as evidence. A case was registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and three men are currently absconding.
