Gaighat, April 29

It has come to light that a thirteen-year-old girl was repeatedly raped for months by her own father, maternal uncle and a local youth at Beltar-Basaha municipality of Udaypur.

Police arrested the alleged father and cousin on Friday whereas her maternal uncle is currently working in a foreign country.

They were arrested based on an FIR lodged by the victim’s mother, said Inspector at the Area Police Office Beltar, Bhim Prasad Silwal.

He said that the sixth-grader was being raped for the past six months.

According to the complaint by the victim’s mother, the girl was being raped repeatedly since the third week of November last year.

As per the FIR, the girl’s father and uncle had raped her for the first time under the influence.

“Then a local youth raped her threatening to disclose everything after he came to know that she was being repeatedly raped,” said inspector Silwal. However, the mother came to know about it a few days ago and lodged a written complaint against the three accused.

“We have kept the identity of the accused considering the sensitivity of the matter. Once the probe concludes, we will disclose everything,” he said, adding that the office has been preparing to file a rape case against the trio.
