Chandauli,

13 July (HS): Three males were nabbed on Sunday for allegedly raping a

16-year-old girl in Chandauli, Uttar Pradesh, police said. According to

authorities, the fourth accused has been absconding, and attempts are on to

arrest him. The incident was brought to light after the girl's pregnancy became

obvious. The complaint stated that in February of this year, while the girl was

cleaning outside her house in the morning, she was kidnapped by the accused and

taken to a dwelling.

They

then sexually attacked her and warned her not to tell anyone, police claimed. When

her relatives saw bodily changes and questioned her, she informed them about

the intimate encounter. Station House Officer (SHO) Gaganraj Singh said that a

complaint has been filed against three individuals and an unnamed suspect under

the proper sections of the law. Rahi Patel, Dinesh Patel, and Vikas Vishwakarma

girl is currently receiving a medical evaluation.
