GHAZIABAD -- A 13-year-old girl was allegedly raped by two men, of whom one has been arrested, for three days in Loni town in Ghaziabad, police said on Tuesday.
The girl's mother on Tuesday accused Suresh and his friend, Rinku, of raping her daughter. Suresh and his wife Seema, friends of the girl's family, lured her into coming with them to their house on 5 November for short-stay over the weekend, SHO Sahibabad Surender Yadav said.
"The girl was allegedly raped at Suresh's house. She disclosed the matter to her mother after returning home today morning following which a complaint was lodged," he said, adding Suresh and Seema have been arrested while Rinku is absconding.
The victim was threatened of dire consequences by the accused if she disclosed the matter to anyone, he said.
The girl has been admitted at a hospital in Ghaziabad for treatment and medical examination.
The accused have been booked under relevant sections of the IPC and provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, he added.

Indian lawmakers in March increased punishments for sex offenders to include the death penalty if a victim dies and a minimum 20-year prison sentence for gang-rape, but the new laws did not go far enough to tackle gender inequality or protect women, a UN special envoy said in May.

An Indian juvenile court will hand down a verdict later in July 2013 in the fatal December gang rape of a young woman on a New Delhi bus, a defense lawyer said Thursday. The verdict would be the first handed down in the rape case, which led to furious street protests in India and sparked major reforms to the nation's antiquated sexual assault laws.
