In a shocking incident reported from Mumbai’s Virar area, an 11-year-old girl was gangraped by three men, at the behest of her 21-year-old female friend in the early hours of Wednesday, August 17. Three of the accused, including the female friend, were taken into police custody within six hours of the crime, police said.

The horrifying incident happened when the victim had gone to a shop near her house to get her cell phone repaired at around 7 pm on Tuesday, August 16. There, she met her 21-year-old female friend, who took her for a walk.

The friend took the victim to an isolated area and called three of her male friends. They arrived at the site after midnight and took the girl to a place behind a pandal set up for the upcoming Ganesh festival and held her captive.

The victim's friend allegedly threatened and told her to have sex with one of the men and pinned her down. The two men took turns to rape her while one molested her. The victim's female friend watched the horrific act. Early morning on Wednesday, they left the minor victim near her house and fled.

When the victim got home and narrated the horrifying ordeal, her mother approached the Virar police, who set-up teams to arrest the accused. The police traced the female friend of the victim. One of the male accused is a college student while another is a vegetable vendor, both natives of Virar. They were taken into police custody within three hours of the crime.

A search operation was then initiated for the third male accused, who is believed to be a drug dealer and has cases registered against him in various police stations.

The accused individuals have been charged under IPC sections for gang rape and unnatural sex and POCSO sections. They have been remanded to police custody.
