Puri: Police framed a charge-sheet against six persons on Tuesday for allegedly raping a minor girl here on December 2. The prime accused, Jitendra Sethi, is a dismissed constable.
Puri SP Uma Shankar Das said police framed the charge-sheet in 20 days after the incident. “We have requested for the case to be tried in a fast-track court,” he added.
According to police, Sethi had picked the girl from the bus stand at Nimapara in a car on the pretext of giving her a lift to her native place at Kakatpur. Later, he and three others took the girl to Puri and raped her inside a police quarter near Jhadeswari Club in the evening.
The girl later managed to escape and informed locals.
Police started an investigation and arrested the prime accused. The other accused were arrested later.
