A brutal gang-rape of a tribal minor girl by ten men has shocked the Godda district in Jharkhand. The appalling incident occurred at a wedding celebration within the Sunderpahadi police station jurisdiction. The young girl had stepped away from the wedding venue at night, seeking privacy.
The ten perpetrators saw the minor and, in a display of sheer depravity, seized her. They silenced her, dragging her to a secluded area within the village. There, they collectively raped her. The news of this heinous act sent shockwaves through the village, igniting fear and anger. A local panchayat was held to discuss the matter.
**Swift Police Action**
Despite attempts to suppress the truth, the victim’s family, seeking justice, reported the incident to the Sunderpahadi police station, naming the ten individuals responsible. The police acted promptly, arresting eight of the accused. All the arrested suspects are residents of the Sunderpahadi police station area.
**Legal Ramifications**
The victim underwent a medical examination, and the eight accused now face charges under the POSCO Act and other relevant laws. The police are continuing their investigation, actively searching for the remaining two individuals involved. This incident is particularly concerning given that a similar case was reported in the Godda district.
**Bokaro Incident of Assault**
In a separate event in Bokaro, four men in the Sector-12 police station area attacked a couple returning from the market. The attackers forced the couple to consume alcohol. The husband was then restrained, and his wife was gang-raped in his presence. The Sector-12 police took immediate action, arresting the four perpetrators.
