Main suspect, aide held in case of 14-year-old’s rape

The Gurugram police have arrested the main suspect and his accomplice in connection with the case of rape of a Class VIII girl student at a guest house.

The girl was brought to the guest house on the pretext of a birthday celebration.

According to the police, the main suspect has been identified as Avinash, a native of Faridabad who lived in Gandhi Nagar, Gurugram; and his accomplice has been identified as Ashu, alias Sohil, a Firozabad (Uttar Pradesh) native who lived in Shivji Park, Gurugram.

A senior police officer said the police were questioning the suspects, who were set to be produced before a city court on Thursday.

The 14-year-old victim was allegedly raped by Avinash after he called her to a guest house through his friend Anshu, alias Sohil, on the pretext of celebrating his birthday.

The girl was reportedly forced to stay at the guest house for the entire night, and returned home only in the morning.

When she confided in her mother, her mother reached out to the police. In this regard, an FIR was registered at the Shivaji Nagar police station on Monday.

“Both the suspects are around 20 years old, and have confessed to the crime. We are questioning the suspects,” said a spokesperson of the Gurugram police.
