Patna Police Arrest Two in Horrific Gang-Rape Case Involving 3-Year-Old Girl
In a shocking and deeply disturbing incident, a 22-year-old man has been charged with gang-raping his three-year-old niece along with two of his friends late Friday night in Patna, Bihar. The case has sent shockwaves through the community and prompted swift police action.
Details of the Alleged Crime
According to the girl’s mother, the toddler was sleeping at home when her uncle, described as a drug addict, picked her up and carried her to a nearby field approximately 500 meters away. There, he and his two friends allegedly subjected the young child to a brutal gang-rape.
The girl’s screams during the ordeal alerted local residents, who initially mistook the commotion for a child thief entering the area and began shouting in response. This disturbance caused the three accused to flee the spot, abandoning the injured child.
Immediate Response and Medical Care
Family members, who were frantically searching for the missing girl, soon reached the location and found her profusely bleeding. They immediately alerted the police, who responded with commendable speed.
Authorities rushed the severely injured child to a government hospital in Patna, where she is currently undergoing intensive medical treatment. Her condition is being closely monitored by healthcare professionals.
Police Action and Investigation
Police arrested the main accused—the girl’s uncle—and one of his friends shortly after the incident was reported. The third accused remains absconding, and extensive raids are underway to apprehend him.
SDPO-II Ranjan Kumar stated that late on Friday night, information was received about the gang-rape of the three-year-old girl. “Taking swift action, police arrested two persons and an FSL team was called to the crime spot to gather evidence. Currently, the girl is undergoing treatment at a govt hospital in Patna, and we are conducting further investigation,” he said.
A senior police officer added that the incident occurred around 11:30 PM on Friday night. “Statements from the girl and her mother will be recorded in the court to ensure a speedy trial and swift punishment for the accused,” the officer emphasized, highlighting the commitment to justice in this heinous case.
Community and Legal Implications
This tragic event has raised serious concerns about child safety and the prevalence of drug-related crimes in the area. The police are intensifying their efforts to ensure all perpetrators are brought to justice, with a focus on a thorough investigation to support a strong legal case.
The community is urged to remain vigilant and cooperate with authorities to prevent such atrocities in the future. The case underscores the critical need for enhanced protection measures for vulnerable children and stricter enforcement against drug abuse and sexual violence.
