Madhya Pradesh: Schoolgirl gangraped by 3 in Gwalior, forced to take contraceptives

BHOPAL: A 16-year-old girl in Gwalior was allegedly gangraped by three of her neighbours, who force-fed her contraceptives when she got pregnant, police said on Thursday.

The survivor is a student of Class 11 and lives with her mother in an apartment. Gwalior SP Amit Sanghi told TOI that two of the accused have been arrested and police are looking for the third.

The girl was gangraped around two months ago. Police said she was alone at home when the three youths barged in and raped her. They threatened her against telling anyone. Terrified, she remained quiet but began falling ill. On May 10, she contacted one of the rapists to say that she was pregnant, said police. The trio forced her to take contraceptive pills.

On May 20, her health worsened. Counselled by her mother, she confided in her and they went to the police.

(The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme Court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
