Two brothers have been arrested for allegedly raping their 14-year-old cousin in outer Delhi’s Sultanpuri, the police said on Tuesday.
The victim and her 11-year-old sister had come to their grandparents’ home in Rohini from Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh to attend a wedding and had decided to extend their stay.
The accused, aged 23 and 20 respectively, arrived at the house around midnight on June 7 when no one but the minors were home. The girls let them in.
Subsequently, one of the men started touching the 14-year-old inappropriately, the police said.
Threatened the girls
They added that when the younger one protested, the other accused took out a pistol and threatened her.
The duo then took turns to rape the elder sister and threatened the girls with dire consequences, the police said.
A case was lodged on June 9. The two accused, who were absconding, were nabbed near Rohini court on June 17, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) G. Ramgopal Naik.
