Eight people, including four boys, were apprehended for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl for months in Sikkim’s Gyalshing district, police said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The action was taken on the basis of a complaint filed by the Child Welfare Committee on Friday after the girl’s school alerted them about her condition.<\/p>\n
During counseling, the girl who always remained sick and lowly in class named a woman from her locality who would regularly call her to assist with domestic work. The woman allegedly coerced her into having sexual acts, involving her husband, police said.<\/p>\n
It was also revealed that two other men were brought in and the girl was allegedly forced to engage in having sex with them in exchange for money, they said.<\/p>\n
The survivor named four boys who were also allegedly involved in sexually assaulting her during the last one year, they added.<\/p>\n
On the basis of her statement, police arrested the woman, her husband and the two men, besides taking the four juveniles into custody.<\/p>\n
The girl is at present with the Child Welfare Committee and receiving counseling and medical treatment.<\/p>\n
A case was registered under various sections of the BNS and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, police said.<\/p>\n
An investigation is underway, they said.<\/p>\n
