A 14-year-old girl was allegedly gangraped by three of her relatives at a village in Chhattisgarh's Korba district.

The accused, identified as Bharat Rathiya, 20, Trilochan Rathiya, 19, and Gautam Rathiya, 23, were arrested from Solwa village under Shyang police station limits on Sunday, based on a complaint, Korba City Superintendent of Police (CSP) Kirtan Rathore said.

As per the complaint, the incident occurred on June 24 when the girl had gone to fetch water from a hand pump in her village after which they asked her friends to leave the spot, the police official said.

Later, they took the minor to a secluded place on the pretext of some urgent work and gangraped her, the police official said.

They also threatened the girl with dire consequences if she revealed the incident to anyone, Rathore said.

However, the girl narrated her ordeal to her parents yesterday after which they complained to the police.

The accused were booked under Section 376 (G) (gang rape) and Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, the police official said, adding that the case is being probed.
