A rape accused’s sister was kidnapped and gang-raped by five men in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar district, police said on Tuesday.

The victim’s brother was accused of raping a girl on August 25, police said.

Villagers protested on Monday night against the incident outside the Kakrauli police station in Muzaffarnagar.

On Sunday night, five men barged into the rape accused’s home and dragged his sister out of the house. They took her with them and allegedly gang-raped her. The girl was found on Monday in Mirza Tilla.

Family members of the victim said police were not paying heed to their complaint. The victim’s mother has alleged that the five men who kidnapped her daughter were from another community. The girl has identified three of them as Gulzar, Guddu and Shahid.

The girl has been sent for a medical check up and action is being taken against the accused, police officer Kuldeep Kumar said.
