Dimapur, May 30: A 13-year old girl from Yuching village in Mon district was allegedly raped in Mon town by a non local male. Unconfirmed reports on Wednesday said that the accused had been identified as a 20 years old Rahul Sen, according to his Inner Line Permit details. The accused is said to be in the custody of the police. A complaint has been filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offence (POCSO) act, updates informed.
Multiple attempts to reach the district's administrative and police authorities for independent and official confirmation were made. However, they could not be reached during the time this report was going to press.
According to sources, the accused was a permanent resident of Namrup Bengal Gaon in Dibrugarh district of Assam. The girl was reportedly raped twice earlier by the same person, according to reported claims of the victim's family. However the minor girl did not tell her relatives as she allegedly was threatened with dire consequences by the accused, sources said.
The incident was brought to light when the girl's elder sister enquired after the minor complained of abdominal pain and that she was unable to walk or sit properly.
Reports stated that as the family members of the victim were on the way to the police station to hand over the accused, a mob took the accused, paraded him naked, and kept him near a private bus station.
A social media group on Facebook called The Naga Mirror has posted images of the accused tied and bound to a pole. It was being reported that a huge crowd had then gathered and had manhandled the accused.
However the police and administration are reported to have reached the spot to rescue the accused. In the process of the rescue, some policemen sustained minor injuries, the reports said.
