Telangana Teen Allegedly Gang-Raped by Seven Including Minors on DussehraPreviousNext

A 15-year-old girl in Telangana's Siddipet district was allegedly gang-raped by seven individuals, including three minors, on Dussehra while her parents were working in the fields. The accused reportedly kidnapped her to a neighbouring village, where the assault occurred. After being dropped near her village the next morning, the girl informed her parents, who filed a police complaint. All seven accused have been arrested, with the minors sent to a state-run children's home. The case is under investigation under the POCSO Act.
