5 held in schoolgirl gang-rape case
Kendrapara: Police on Wednesday arrested four more persons for their alleged involvement in the gang-rape of a 15-year-old schoolgirl in Kendrapara district. With this, the total number of arrests in the case has risen to five. Police on Tuesday arrested a 29-year-old close relative of the survivor, who allegedly lured her to a secluded location where she was assaulted by the five men. All five have been booked under various sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. While the relative has already been sent to jail after a local court rejected his bail application, the four others will be produced in court. Police said the accused also recorded the assault on video. According to the FIR, the survivor alleged that her relative visited their residence on Raksha Bandhan (August 9) and offered to take her to a temple in a nearby village. Instead, she was taken to a deserted spot, where four others were waiting, and was gang-raped. 'It seemed that the crime was pre-planned and the relative of the girl was the main accused,' a police officer said. The accused allegedly threatened her with dire consequences if she revealed the incident to her family. The survivor's statement was recorded on Wednesday in the presence of a magistrate, an officer added.

UP man arrested for cousin's rape-murder after rakhi ritual
Kanpur: A 33-year-old man was arrested in Uttar Pradesh's Auraiya on Tuesday for allegedly assaulting and killing his 14-year-old cousin, hours after she tied a rakhi on him. The accused, Surjeet, had visited his uncle's home on Rakshabandhan. Police said that later that night, he allegedly attacked the girl and tried to pass it off as a suicide. Her father, asleep in another room, discovered her body the next morning and informed police. Bloodstains in the house raised suspicion, and investigators noted Surjeet's attempts to dissuade relatives from speaking. He was detained and, during questioning, confessed to the crime, Auraiya SP Abhijeet Shankar said. An autopsy confirmed sexual assault. Samples collected from the victim and the suspect have been sent for forensic analysis at a Jhansi lab. Police said further action will follow after receiving the reports.
