A 14-year-old girl from Phoolbagh of Old City was raped by five youngsters from Hafeezbabanagar five days ago, the police said on Friday.
According to sources, the prime accused, Mohammed Shakeel, 21, a resident of Hafeez Babanagar, had befriended the victim when she was staying there earlier.
Sources said that the accused had earlier professed his love to the victim, but she had rejected his advances. Since then he had held a grudge against her.
Last Friday, she was picked up by Shakeel from her house and was later raped by him and his friend Basheer and three others. She had been missing since then.
Chandryangutta police said that two women from Hafeezbabanagar forced the minor into flesh trade. The women too were detained and being interrogated,”
Shakeel then took her to his friend Feroz’s house in Balapur, where Feroz and three others raped her. The accused then left her and fled.
A missing complaint was lodged by her family and a case was registered. The victim was traced at Charminar on Thursday by her uncles and taken back home.
