Dumka: Three men, aged between 22 and 26 years, were arrested in Pakur district on Saturday for allegedly raping a minor girl on Feb 17.
Three other accused in the incident are still on the run, police said.
Pakur SP Nidhi Dwivedi said the survivor was buying essential items at a shop when the six accused abducted her and took her away in a tipper truck. She was kept at isolated spots where she was raped for three days. Locals allegedly tried to hush up the crime through a panchayat meeting, but the talks failed.
“The survivor lodged an FIR on March 6, following which a team arrested three accused from the survivor’s neighbourhood,” Dwivedi said. The tipper truck has been seized.Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with
