“When the goons failed in their attempt they severely assaulted her with blows and kicks and left unattended,” family sources informed.
The FIR which has been submitted by the victim’s family at the Mornoi Police Station has also mentioned that the girl was kidnapped by Akbar Ali, the main accused and three of his accomplices when she was going for tuition at the Luptachar LP School.
But their evil intention of raping her could not be fulfilled due to stiff resistance by the girl.
