A tribal girl was allegedly raped by at least six men when she was taking a stroll with her boyfriend near a university campus in Jharkhand’s Dumka and 12 persons have been arrested in this connection, a police officer said on Friday. According to the police, the men first demanded Rs 5,100 and a mobile phone from her as a “penalty” because her friend was a “non-tribal” and then allegedly forced the girl and her boyfriend to strip and have sex in front of them, before taking turns to rape her. Superintendent of Police Mayur Patel said 12 people have been arrested on the basis of inputs given by the girl and her friend.
