GOA POLICE have arrested three men on charges of kidnapping and sexually abusing a 16-year-old minor in confinement for over a month. The girl was rescued by the police from a house at Cuncolim in South Goa on Thursday night.
Police said a labourer named Raju and his friends Mohan and Biswajeet had befriended the minor girl. “Over a period of time, Raju lured the girl with a job offer and promised her a lucrative income. He sweet-talked the girl into abandoning her family and accompanying the group for better prospects. However, upon reaching a house at Navelim in Madgaon, the trio confined the 16-year-old girl against her will,” Panaji Police Inspector Sidhant Shirodkar said.
Citing the minor’s statement, the police said Raju had sexually abused her repeatedly while she continued to remain under his unlawful custody.
