A 16-year-old schoolgirl in India was allegedly abducted and gang-raped twice in two days, according to police. The victim's mother reported the incident after the girl left home on August 6 for school.
Abduction and assault
The girl was allegedly intercepted by people in a car, including one who had been pressuring her to be friends. When she resisted, a cloth soaked with a toxic substance was placed over her mouth, causing her to lose consciousness. She was then taken to a location where the accused committed gang rape.
Second attack and escape
She was later abandoned semi-conscious in Zirakpur around 2:15 pm. The accused threatened to kill her if she told anyone. The next day, she was again sexually assaulted by the same accused when she tried to resist. At around 5 pm, she was left near a gift shop in Baltana.
Investigation
Zirakpur police have launched a search for the accused and are examining CCTV footage along the route from her home to school. Investigators are focusing on identifying the suspect car and tracing the three accused youths. Further action will be based on the victim's statement, medical examination, and evidence collected.
