A minor girl was allegedly raped by two cops inside police quarters in

Uttar Pradesh's Budaon district, about 300 km from here.





The accused cops, identified as Veer Pal and Avanish Yadav, allegedly abducted the 14-year-old girl when she went out of her house on Wednesday night, and took her to Musajhag police station, where they raped her inside the police quarters.



The cops, who were reportedly inebriated, dumped the minor at her village when her condition deteriorated, said police sources here on Friday.



Members of the victim's family met senior district officials on Thursday, and on their intervention, an FIR was lodged and the victim sent for medical examination, said the sources.



The cops, who are absconding after the incident, have been placed under suspension.



Rapes inside police stations in UP have occurred earlier too. A few months ago, a girl had allegedly been gang-raped by cops at a police station in the Budaon district itself, when she had gone there to lodge a complaint against some people following an incident of assault.



The cops had also allegedly beaten her brother to death when he tried to stop them from raping her.



BJP leaders slammed the UP government for what they alleged was its failure to check crimes against women in the state. “The state government has failed to ensure the safety of women,” said UP BJP leader Vijay Bahadur Pathak.



Congress leaders also criticised the government for not doing enough to check the spiralling crime graph in the state.



Ruling Samajwadi Party leader Ashok Bajpai, however, said the government had taken stern action.
