Motihari gang-rape case accused held

The East Champaran police in Bihar on Friday arrested Samiullah, the main accused in the Motihari gang-rape case in which a minor girl was brutally sexually assaulted.
 

Samiullah, an influential person of Motihari, had raped the 17-year-old girl and made a video clip of the incident. In his bid to blackmail the girl, the accused again called the victim on June 12 and tried to sexually assault her.

This time, the girl, armed with a blade, attacked the accused’s private part when he tried to rape her. The girl then rushed to her mother and narrated the incident. Her mother lodged a police case but the cops did not take the matter seriously and registered an “attempt to rape” case.

Enraged over police complaint, Samiullah, along with four other family members — Aliullah, Nurullah, Samarullah, Kalimuallah and Javiullah — forcibly entered the girl’s house, dragged her out and gang-raped her. After committing the heinous crime, the main accused inserted indigenously-made pistol in her private parts. One of the other accused inserted wooden sticks into her body. The girl fell unconscious. Presuming her to be dead, the five accused left the naked girl on road and fled.

Meanwhile, the cops on patrolling duty recovered the girl and admitted her to the government hospital.
