Gang-rape accused’s kin slaps cop during police raid

A woman allegedly slapped a constable and abused the picket in-charge during a police raid to arrest gang-rape accused Naresh Kumar in Shimlapuri's Basant Nagar.

Family members scuffled with the raiding team to prevent the arrest, but Naresh Kumar was taken into custody and will be produced in court for remand.

The original FIR on July 21 accused Naresh Kumar, Manish Kumar, and Saurav Kumar of abducting a 16-year-old girl, making her consume an intoxicant, gang-raping her, and abandoning her near her house.

The case was registered under Sections 64, 96, and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 6 of the POCSO Act.

Shimlapuri police are registering a separate FIR against the woman and others for allegedly obstructing public servants from discharging their duty.
