In a shocking incident, a 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a 16-year-old boy while she was returning home from school in Uttar Pradesh’s Fatehpur district.
Inspector-in-charge (SSI) of the Hathgam police station Ashish Singh said the incident occurred on Wednesday and an FIR was lodged on Friday.
He said the victim, a Class 9 student, was returning home from school when a Class 10 student of the same school, who is also her neighbour, allegedly caught hold of her, forcibly took her to a forest area nearby and raped her.
The SSI said the accused minor student has been held and will be produced before a juvenile court during the day.
The girl has been sent to a government hospital for medical examination, he said, adding that further action is being taken.
