In Jharkhand's Gumla district, a 13-year-old girl's father has filed a complaint alleging that she was gang-raped and severely beaten by a group of men, police announced on Saturday (September 26, 2026). Based on the father's report, an FIR was lodged at the Palkot police station on Friday (September 25, 2026), and the young victim has been transferred to the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Ranchi for specialized medical attention.
A police squad has been dispatched to Ranchi's RIMS to obtain the girl's medical records, as rape can only be substantiated following the receipt of this report, stated Palkot police station's in-charge Ankit Raj.

The father alleged that his daughter was subjected to gang rape and physical abuse, although he did not specify the number of perpetrators involved. Prior to being admitted to RIMS, the girl was initially treated at Simdega Sadar Hospital, which then referred her to Gumla. Doctors at the Gumla hospital subsequently referred her to RIMS in Ranchi. Police have commenced an investigation into the case, according to the police officer.
