Bhopal: A local BJP functionary’s minor son is among four accused of gang-raping a 19-year-old girl in Madhya Pradesh’s Datia district.

The girl was allegedly abducted and raped by four persons on Friday afternoon, after which the victim tried to end her life, police said.

An adult has been arrested and two minors detained, as police search continues for one more accused, Unav police station in-charge Yadvendra Singh Gurjar said on Sunday.

A reward of Rs 10,000 has been announced on the fourth accused, Gurjar added.

Those nabbed so far includes local BJP leader’s minor son, whose name figures in the FIR registered in the case.

BJP’s district unit head said today appropriate action will be taken if the gang-rape victim names him in her police statement.

It was the victim’s younger sister who lodged a police complaint.

“The complainant said she and her elder sister were abducted by four persons. The accused took them to a house, where they raped her elder sister,” Superintendent of Police Pradeep Sharma said.

After the two girls returned home, the elder sister tried to commit suicide. She was later admitted to a hospital in Jhansi, the SP informed.

As per the FIR, the accused also sexually abused the complainant.

A large group of people staged a protest at the police station, following which a case was registered. A copy of the FIR was given to the angry group to pacify them.
