GUWAHATI: A fifteen-year-old lady used to be allegedly gang-raped at a lodge right here through 5 males, two of whom had assaulted her on an previous instance, too, the police mentioned on Friday.

In line with Guwahati Assistant Commissioner of Police (ladies unit) Bhanita Nath, the accused lived within the neighbourhood of the lady.

As in keeping with the criticism lodged through the lady’s mom, two of the 5 culprits, who had first sexually assaulted the lady on February 16 and shot a video of the act, allegedly threatened to leak the clip if she printed the subject to someone.

On February 19, on the other hand, the 2 males, promising to delete the video, requested her to discuss with them once more, this time in a lodge in Adalbari, Nath mentioned.

{The teenager} used to be then raped through 5 males within the lodge room, she mentioned.

“The woman has passed through important clinical exams and stories are awaited. Within the intervening time, we’ve introduced an operation to nab the culprits,” Nath mentioned.

A case has been registered underneath more than a few sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Data Era Act and the Coverage of Youngsters from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, she added.
