Khurda: Close on the heels of the suicide of the minor rape victim in Koraput district, a similar incident has taken place in Khurda district.

Sources said a Class X minor girl of Suanpadia villager under Banapur police station limits was allegedly raped by a youth of the same village in the night on on December 31 last year while she had gone outside her house to attend the nature’s call.

After the girl narrated the incident to her parents, a meeting was held in the village.  Later a complaint was lodged with the Banapur police station on January 2.
