Ghaziabad: Four boys, the youngest 14 and the oldest 17, have been named in an FIR for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl at her flat in a housing society in Kavi Nagar.
The alleged sexual assault happened while the girl, a Class IX student at a private school, was alone at home on Sunday morning.
Sources said two of the accused are from the same school as her – one in her class, the other in class X.
The two others are Class XI students who study elsewhere.
The FIR mentions the name of only one of the four – one Class XI student. It was filed at Kavi Nagar police station under Section 70(2) (gang rape) of BNS and sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act around 11.30pm on Sunday night after the girl's father filed a complaint.

According to the FIR, around 11.30am on Sunday morning, the girl received a call from the Class XI student named in the FIR. They knew each other and were connected on social media, though they don't study in the same school. Over the call, he informed her that he was coming to meet her – the girl's father alleged he had been insisting for two days on coming and meeting her.
On Sunday morning, when he landed up, she was alone at home – the father was out for work and her mother had gone to a market.

"During that time, the doorbell rang, and when she opened the door, she saw the prime accused and three other boys," according to the FIR.
"These four boys forcibly took her inside a room, covered her mouth and threw her on the bed. They held her hands and feet, and each of the four boys took turns assaulting her. When the complainant's wife returned from the market, she found the flat door open and saw the four boys with her daughter.
She locked them inside and raised an alarm. She also called her husband," the FIR adds.
The girl's father told TOI on Tuesday that he immediately called police at 112 when his wife told him what had happened. "When some residents of the society came to our house and were talking to my wife about the incident, the boys managed to flee," he said, accusing police of not reacting quickly enough to detain the boy at the spot.
"The boys were harassing my daughter for a long time on social media platforms.
Whenever she refused to talk, they threatened her," he said.
Bhaskar Verma, ACP of Kavi Nagar, said a police team had been formed to investigate and CCTV footage of the society was also being examined. "We sent the girl for a medical examination. The report is awaited. Her magistrate statement will be recorded soon," he said.
Sources said the main accused lives in the Wave City area. The manager of the school the girl studies in confirmed to TOI on Tuesday that she had taken admission only this year.
"As far as we know, her family recently shifted to Ghaziabad. However, the girl has not attended school since she took admission. We have the records."
Though the Class XI student named as accused and the girl did not study in the school together, he and her brother did. "The main accused and her brother were in our school till Class 10. Both did not continue in Class 11," the school manager said.

Punjab: Forest scam: ED attaches properties worth ₹53.64 of forest officer

The Enforcement Directorate has provisionally attached immovable property worth ₹53.64 lakh belonging to Sukhwinder Singh, then range forest officer, Budhlada forest range, in connection with a money laundering investigation related to the forest scam during the Congress regime from 2017 to 2022. ED initiated an investigation based on two FIRs registered by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau under various Sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act (HT File) ED initiated an investigation based on two FIRs registered by the Punjab Vigilance Bureau under various Sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act. Sukhwinder was suspended after he was arrested by the vigilance bureau in August 2022 for alleged embezzlement of ₹45.69 lakh meant for cemented tree guards and ₹7 lakh for bamboo tree guards in connivance with the then divisional forest officer of Mansa and others. His suspension was revoked last year, and he is set to retire in 2026. ED investigation revealed that Sukhwinder procured bills of various non-existent entities and transferred funds to the bank account of various private persons, and later received the amount in cash. Through these criminal activities, the accused forest officer acquired proceeds of crime (POC) to the tune of ₹53.64 lakh, the ED statement added. This is the same case in which former forest minister Sadhu Singh Dharamsot was arrested after a case under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and a prosecution complaint was filed against him in the PMLA court in Mohali. The court in March this year framed charges against the former minister. Dharamsot, who is presently out on bail, was arrested by the federal agency on January 15 last year. The agency had provisionally attached Dharamsot's various properties to the tune of ₹4.58 crore in this case. According to the VB probe, the accused allegedly prepared fake bills of bogus firms and withdrew the money by diverting government funds to different bank accounts. The VB probe has revealed that in 2021, under the compensatory afforestation scheme, the principal chief conservator, Punjab, had approved the forest range, Mansa, for the procurement of 5,872 RCC tree guards, out of which 2,537 tree guards were to be prepared by the forest range officer, Mansa. Sukhwinder showed the purchase of 2,537 cemented tree guards from two private firms in Sangrur and Patiala and obtained purchase bills from these firms. During the investigation into the GST numbers and contact numbers of these firms written on their bills, it was found that no firm exists with the present addresses, the VB probe said.
