Faridabad: A 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped multiple times by a man and was threatened by her mother not to reveal the incident, police said Wednesday.
The accused is a friend of the girl’s mother and both have been arrested in the rape case, they said.
According to police, the parents of the rape victim have been living separately for several years in Faridabad. The minor lived with her father and often went to her mother’s house to meet her.
Two days ago, the girl fell ill and told her father that Ribhu Tyagi, a friend of her mother, had allegedly raped her when she went to her mother’s house. Following this, the teenager’s father approached the police with his daughter, they added.
The complainant alleged that Tyagi raped her daughter on several occasions and threatened her not to reveal the incident, police said.
When the girl complained to her mother, she was again asked to keep the matter secret, they said.
Based on the father’s complaint, an FIR was registered against the accused and the girl’s mother at Kheri Pul police station here on Wednesday under relevant sections of penal laws and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, they added.
The minor was admitted to hospital, police said.
“The victim’s mother was arrested from her house in Faridabad, while the main accused Ribhu Tyagi was arrested in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, within hours of the FIR being registered. Both the accused were produced before a city court today and remanded in custody,” a Faridabad police spokesperson said.
