Lucknow: A teenaged Dalit girl was subjected to brutal attack and one of her ears
nearly chopped off while resisting a rape attempt by three youths
of her village in Uttar Pradesh's Fatehpur district, police said
Sunday. One man has been arrested.
The teenager was attacked late Saturday with a sharp-edged weapon
in Udauli village in Fatehpur, about 120 km from here.
"The 17-year-old girl was attacked with a sharp weapon, causing
deep gashes on her face and hands, while one of her ears was
nearly chopped off," said Special Director General of Police Brij
Lal.
Fatehpur Superintendent of Police Ram Bharose told IANS over
phone: "The girl was intercepted by three young men while she was
returning from the fields."
"They tried to gag her and tear off her clothes in an attempt to
gang rape her, but the girl used all her strength to resist the
assault and raised a loud scream, which alerted some villagers,"
he said.
"Realizing that they would not succeed in their intended game,
they left the girl but not before one of them fished out a
sharp-edged weapon with which he hit at her, leaving her
critically injured," he added.
But the police officer said it seemed to be "a fallout of an
altercation between the girl's family members and one of the
accused, Hari Shankar, during the panchayat elections about two
months ago".
"We have arrested Hari Shankar and are on the trail of the other
two, who would also be tracked down soon."
