Ludhiana, June 24

The Ludhiana city and the Ludhiana rural police have registered two cases of sexual harassment against three persons.

In the first case, the Sadar police have booked a man for sexually abusing a six-year-old girl at Narangwal Khurd village. The suspect has been identified as Harpal Singh, a resident of the same village.

The complainant told the police that the suspect was her husband’s brother. About a year ago, he had attempted to sexually exploit her daughter. When the girl told the matter to her husband, he forced her not to inform the police as it would malign the image of their family.

A few days ago, Harpal again attempted to rape her daughter and touched her private part. When the girl daughter told them about the matter, a complaint was lodged at the Sadar police station where a case was registered against him.

ASI Satinderpal Singh said a case under Section 376-A,B, IPC, and Section 4,6, Pocso Act, was registered against him.

In another incident, two persons kidnapped and raped a minor girl in Jagraon. They have been identified as Arsh and Gora, residents of Jagraon.

The complainant, the girl’s mother, told the police that on June 22 she had gone to drop her relative at the Jagraon bus stand. When she returned home, she was shocked to see that her daughter was missing.

Later, when her daughter reached home, she revealed that the suspects barged into their house and forcibly bundled her into their car. They took her to the house of Gora at Akhara village where both of them raped her and later dropped her at the Raikot bus stand. They also threatened her of dire consequences if she tell about the incident to somebody.

The victim’s mother said yesterday, the victim’s health deteriorated and she was rushed to the Civil Hospital where doctors confirmed rape.

The woman demanded that the duo should be arrested and strict punishment should be given to them.
