Three teen boys detained in Gujarat for ‘raping’ minor

Three teenage boys have been arrested in Gujarat for the alleged gangrape of a minor girl on a beach. The incident occurred on Sunday when the victim's parents were away. One of the boys had previously communicated with the victim on social media a year ago. The two boys would often meet outside without her family's knowledge. On Sunday, the victim's parents were away, so the two boys allegedly picked her up on a motorbike and took her to the well-known beach.

Another teenager, a friend of one of the boys, arrived at the beach later. Once at the secluded area, all three minors allegedly raped the victim one by one. The girl's elder brother soon began searching for her when she did not return home. Upon seeing the trio returning with the victim, the brother tried to confront them but they fled.

The girl's parents returned home that night, and she told them about her ordeal. Her mother then contacted the police and filed a complaint against the three boys. Based on the complaint, the police registered a gangrape offense against the teenagers. The boys were charged with rape and under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Valsad Deputy Superintendent of Police A K Verma stated that they are investigating further to gather more information.
