“The youth dragged me inside an abandoned house and tried to rape me. He tried to strip my clothe. But, I managed to flee. Then they caught me chasing on the bike and started beating me ruthlessly. They molested me open on the road, punched me on my chest, face, head and slapped me repeatedly. I fell on the ground and then they started kicking me on my lower abdomen. I cried out in pain and become unconscious” – The Victim Girl
Police have started a case on the basis of a complaint lodged by the girl’s father, handloom worker against prime accused Samir Dhar, son of a weaver and his two unidentified aides. However, the trio went absconding.
