Balasore: Five persons, including a couple, have been detained by the Berhampur police in the district on Tuesday for allegedly gang raping a minor girl and keeping her hidden.

One Sunaram Singh of Puti Bandha village had reportedly married the 12-year-old adopted daughter of Bari Hembram of Kedua village two days ago. Later, the minor girl asked Singh to drop her in her foster father’s house after she felt weak physically.

However, Sunaram called three of his friends and, on the pretext of leaving the girl at her home, took her to the village pond and allegedly gang raped her. On the way to the minor’s village they raped her again in turns in a forest and abandoned her there.

When the villagers knew about the matter, they caught hold of the accused and thrashed them before handing them over to the local police. However, the whereabouts of the girl is yet to be known.

Police are interrogating the accused over the incident and trace the victim girl whom they said to have kept hidden.

Meanwhile, police have also detained Sunaram Singh’s first wife.
