Bulandshahr (Uttar Pradesh): A 16-year-old girl has forwarded a complaint of gang rape to the police on WhatsApp after she was found pregnant. The teen has claimed she was raped multiple times by three men during a course of over one-and-half years.

A team led by a woman circle officer was sent to the girl’s home where her statement was recorded and an FIR under suitable sections was registered.

Three people have been booked for rape case, including a 72-year-old man.

“The family of the rape survivor got to know about the ordeal of the girl after her condition deteriorated recently and she was taken to a local hospital where the family was informed about her pregnancy,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SP), Bulandshahr, Santosh Kumar said.

“In a statement to the police, the rape survivor said she was sexually harassed by one of the accused, Shrichand, a 72-year-old man.
