AGRA: Three youths abducted a 13-year-old Dalit girl after offering her water laced with some intoxicating substance and took turns to rape her inside a moving van while she was in a semi-conscious state in Mathura on Thursday afternoon.
They then dumped the gang-rape survivor under a flyover and fled. When the girl regained consciousness, she reached home and told her parents about her ordeal and complained of severe stomach pain.
The family got her admitted to a private hospital, where doctors confirmed that she had been raped, following which her father approached police.
The girl said that she had gone to a grocery shop when a local youth offered her a bottle of water.
