The survivor did not file a complaint earlier fearing the threats given by the accused. On Wednesday, the family filed an FIR and the accused of the Rajnandgaon city rape case have been detained under Section 376 and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

Earlier this year in February, a 16-year-old minor girl was allegedly raped and killed by six men in Chhattisgarh’s Korba district. The accused men took three victims of the incident – the girl’s father, the 16-year-old and a four-year-old, to a deserted forest area and raped them. After committing the crime, they trashed the trio with stones, killing them and dumped the bodies into the forest.

The accused men had been detained under the Indian Penal Code sections 302 (murder), 376 (2)G (gangrape), and provisions of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
