A minor girl (13) was allegedly raped by five people in Madhya Pradesh’s Dewas city before being kidnapped to Rajasthan, police said on Sunday.

The girl has been freed from Jaipur and six people, including her female friend and two other minor, have been taken into custody in connection with the incident, said police.

The victim’s father who comes from Madhya Praadesh’s Ratlam, has filed a compliant with the police on 16th June saying that his daughter who stayed with her aunt in Dewas, had been missing, said police.

"Police have arrested six persons, including a minor girl, and efforts are on to nab three other accused involved in the kidnapping and gangrape case," District Superintendent of Police (SP) Krishnaveni Desavatu said.

"The accused girl helped others involved in the crime to kidnap the victim from Dewas railway station on June 15," she added.

The Jaipur Police crime branch later tracked down the victim and two accused there, she added.

"Aman, Netash and three minors- the accused girl- and two staffers of the hotel, have been arrested along with the manager of the hotel, Lokesh Lal (35), for their involvement in the crime," she said.

Three other accused Rohit, Ajay and Vishal have fled, she said.
