GURGAON: A 16-year-old girl waiting for her schoolbus in Gurgaon on Friday was allegedly bundled into a van by four boys of her class, blindfolded, driven to a desolate spot and raped by two of them.The girl told police she was kept in captivity for more than six hours after being abducted around 8am and was released by her captors at Manesar bus stand around 3pm. On reaching home, she narrated the ordeal to her parents and the police were informed.Two of the boys were arrested on Saturday while a search is on for the others. The girl and the four suspects are Class XII students of a private school in the city. A senior police officer said the arrested boys are both 16 and have been sent to a juvenile home. The school said confirmed that the boys involved were absent on Friday.The four boys, whose names TOI is withholding because it is not known if all of them are minors, have been booked under Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and sections 363 and 365 (kidnapping) of the IPC. According to the girl's complaint, she had left for school around 7.45am and was waiting for the bus when the boys drove up in a Maruti van with tinted windows. They stopped near her and first offered her a lift. When she rebuffed them, one of the boys pulled her inside the vehicle and slammed the door shut. They allegedly used her dupatta to blindfold her and sped away."On receiving the complaint, the girl was immediately taken to hospital, where a medical examination confirmed rape ," said Ramphal, the investigating officer. "Her statement was recorded under Section 164 of the CrPC in a city court on Saturday," he added.The girl's father lambasted the police for failing to create a safe environment for women — the crime against his daughter took place on the same day as the city's first women's police station was unveiled. "What is the point of opening a women's police station if a city cannot guarantee basic safety to its women?" he said, adding he was apprehensive about the probe, too, as the "the accused belong to wealthy families and can use their influence".He also alleged that instead of sympathizing with her, the school authorities were unhappy with him for filing an FIR. "We tried contacting the school but they were upset about the hurry we showed in getting an FIR registered. The school authorities said the matter could have been resolved," he said. The school denied the allegations.Rajesh Kumar, ACP (crime), said the police were examining the girl's cellphone for leads. "The most recent calls on her mobile were from three of the accused," he said. Police sources said it was possible they had spoken before as they were classmates and efforts to nab the two others would be stepped up.
