The Shil Daighar police have launched a manhunt for the accused after it came to light that a 12-year-old mentally unstable girl was raped on Monday.
The victim was returning home at Shil village in Shil Daighar in the afternoon when an unknown man allegedly raped her. When she did not return home, her parents went searching and found her sitting under a tree in an isolated place on the village outskirts.
They said their daughter had gone out to play and, while returning, was caught by an unknown person who took her in the bushes and raped her. A case under section 376 (punishment for rape) of the IPC and several sections of the Protection Of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, has been filed.
Investigating officer S Mohite said, “There were marks on her face as she was slapped. We have conducted a medical test and it is positive. We have alerted our officers to search for the accused.”
