Bhopal, Jan 11 (NationPress) In a distressing event, a minor girl was reportedly kidnapped and gang-raped by three men while she was traveling to a birthday celebration in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh, according to police reports on Saturday.
The authorities mentioned that the girl was heading to her cousin's residence for the birthday party when one of the suspects, who was familiar to her, allegedly confronted her and coerced her into a vehicle with two of his accomplices.
They drove approximately two kilometers to a secluded area near a pond and took turns assaulting her.
After committing the heinous act, the trio fled the scene, leaving the unconscious victim near the pond, the police reported.
Upon regaining consciousness, the 11-year-old girl managed to walk home late Thursday night and recounted her ordeal to her parents. They promptly took her to Damoh District Hospital, where she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
