Dumka: A tribal girl was allegedly raped by at least six men when she was taking a stroll with her boyfriend near a university campus in Jharkhand's Dumka and 12 persons have been arrested in this connection, a police officer said today.
According to the police, the men first demanded Rs 5,100 and a mobile phone from her as a "penalty" because her friend was a "non-tribal" and then allegedly forced the girl and her boyfriend to strip and have sex in front of them, before taking turns to rape her.
Superintendent of Police Mayur Patel said 12 people have been arrested on the basis of inputs given by the girl and her friend.
The men demanded Rs 5,100 and a mobile phone from her as a penalty for roaming with a non-tribal. Her boyfriend refused to hand over the mobile and assured them of giving them the money if he was permitted to call his friend.
The accused then allegedly forced the girl and her boyfriend to have sex in front of them at knifepoint by the side of the road. They then allegedly took turns to rape the girl, the police said.
The girl was sent to Sadar Hospital, where her condition was stated to be 'out of danger', police said.
DIG Akhilesh Kumar Jha said, a case of gangrape has been registered against all the persons present in the scene of crime.
