Lucknow, June 08: Despite tall claims of the UP Police of initiating stringent action against eve-teasers and those involved in crime against women, a youth barged into a house in Auraiya and raped a teenaged girl, finding her all alone in the house. When the victim raised an alarm, the accused reportedly doused her in kerosene and set herself ablaze before making good his escape.
Reports reaching the DGP Hqs here on Sunday said that the incident took place around 4 pm on Sunday in Sarai Pratham locality under Bidhuna police station of the district. Allegations are that a local resident Lallu Singh (19) barged into the house of his neighbour in the evening, apparently aware that his neighbour’s 16-year-old daughter Roopa (name changed to conceal identity) was all alone in the house
