Gwalior: <\/b><\/p>\n
A 17-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a youth who had befriended her on social media and his three friends in a car in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior, police said on Monday.<\/p>\n
Police have invoked provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act since the victim is a Dalit, an official said, adding that nobody has been arrested so far.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred on November 21 but a complaint was lodged four days later as the girl kept mum because she was threatened by the accused against disclosing the incident, an official said.<\/p>\n
Additional Superintendent of Police Niranjan Sharma said the girl and her family lodged a complaint.<\/p>\n
“The girl became friends with a youth on Facebook last year. On November 21, her male friend took her to a deserted forest area in a car where he and his three friends raped her and also threatened to kill her,” he said.<\/p>\n
A case was registered under sections 376 (Punishment for rape), and 377 (unnatural act) among others, along with the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.<\/p>\n
According to sources in police, the victim has claimed that one of the accused is a close relative of a politician.<\/p>\n
