Assam: Seven Arrested In Tinsukia For Alleged Rape of Minor Girl

TINSUKIA: The Tinsukia Police have arrested seven individuals, including minors, in connection with the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl in Doomdooma, Assam.

On November 29, the police stated that they had arrested the accused in relation to the rape of the teenager, who is currently 23 weeks pregnant. 

As per reports, Gaurav Abhijit Dilip, the Superintendent of Tinsukia Police, stated that, while the girl was playing with her friends, she was enticed to a secluded area where the seven individuals, including four minors, committed this heinous crime. 

He states that "the girl is approximately 23 weeks pregnant. We have all the evidence, including the medical report, which confirms that the girl was sexually assaulted. We will file the charge sheet soon and ensure that justice is served."

This incident came into light much later, as the families of the accused had intimidated the victim's family with threats of serious consequences if they chose to inform the police.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, a terrifying incident was reported from the Demow area in Sivasagar. It had come to light that a national-level athlete was sexually assaulted by two individuals inside a house.

According to the information received, the incident took place on the afternoon of November 22. The teenage athlete was allegedly abducted by two brothers, identified as Sunil and Bhaiti, from the Shikaribheti area. They came with a Tata AC vehicle and were then taken to a house located about 3 kilometers away.

Reports suggest the assault took place while loud DJ music was being played in the house so that no one could hear her seeking help. A formal complaint has been filed at Demow Police Station. The victim is currently receiving medical treatment at Sivasagar Civil Hospital.
