A teenage girl was gangraped by a bank employee and another person after they forced her to consume alcohol in Outer North Delhi's Samaypur Badli area.
According to the police, the accused, Rishabh (26), a bank employee and a resident of Badli, and Narottam alias Neta (28), a local salon owner in Raja Vihar, have been arrested in connection with the incident involving a 13-year-old girl.
The accused reportedly lured the girl to a vacant house in Raja Vihar, belonging to one of the accused. The duo forced her to consume alcohol and raped her.
The crime came to light on Saturday after a PCR call was received reporting that a girl had been forced to consume alcohol in Raja Vihar, reported news agency PTI.
When the police reached the spot, the victim's father initially reported that his daughter had consumed alcohol. "During subsequent enquiry and recording of the victim's statement, a more serious offence was revealed," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outernorth) Hareshwar Swami was quoted as saying.
The rape was reported after a medical examination.
Based on the victim's statement and medical examination, a case was registered under section 70 (Gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act on December 21, the officer said.
Following the investigation, both the accused were arrested.
