A 13-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped and gang-raped for 28 days in Bihar's Muzaffarpur. All the six accused in the case are still at large.
The victim, who lives with her mother, was taken away by six men from her house on July 9. Upon learning about this, the victim's mother, who works as a labourer, reported the incident to the police.
However, the police initially dismissed the case, citing it to be a "love affair".
Later on August 5, the victim's mother was contacted through an anonymous call, revealing that her daughter was found abandoned at Saraiya Chowk in the city. With the assistance of local residents, victim's mother located her and safely brought her back home.
Upon returning home, the victim revealed that the accused, whom she had befriended on Facebook, along with his friends, had repeatedly assaulted her.
Following this, the victim's mother filed an official complaint at the city police station.
The police then initiated an investigation into the matter. Meanwhile, the victim was taken to Sadar Hospital for a medical examination, and her statement will be recorded under Section 164 of the Indian Penal Code.
The police have assured that appropriate action will be taken based on the victim's statement.
