  "account": "Three men from Assam's Cachar district have been apprehended for the abduction and gang-raping of two Mizoram girls, aged 15 and 16, inside a moving vehicle, according to police reports on Thursday. The suspects, Amjad Hussain Laskar, Saddam Hussain Laskar, and Rinku Das, were arrested after the survivors reached the Dholai police station in the early hours of the day. The additional Superintendent of Police (Crime) for Cachar district, Rajat Pal, confirmed the details, stating that the girls reported the incident to the authorities around 2:30 am following the alleged assault. The matter is being treated under the Juvenile Justice system due to the victims' minor status. Pal mentioned that the case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012. Both girls have undergone mandatory medical examinations, and their statements have been recorded. Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the girls' contact with the accused, the location of their abduction, and other aspects of the case. Attempts to reach the Mizoram Police for further information were unsuccessful.",
