According to reports, the girl had gone missing on Friday afternoon and her body was found in a sugarcane field of one of the accused on Saturday. While, the incident reportedly took place in a village close to the Nepal border, which is near the state capital Lucknow.
The minor girl was abducted on August 6 by Dalpat when she was playing outside her house in Hapur's Garh area. She was raped and left to die in a nearby forest, from where a search and rescue team found her almost 12 hours later.
The survivor was kidnapped and brutally raped last Thursday and is presently admitted in the Meerut Medical College where her condition remains critical.
The police have released sketches of the three accused on the basis of the statements of the girl's parents and neighbours.
The incident took place at a village in Jabera tehsil on Wednesday evening when the accused lured the minor, who was playing outside her house, with a toffee, an official said. The accused then raped the victim in an abandoned house and tried to gouge her eyes out to prevent her from identifying him. The severely wounded child was found on Thursday morning.
The accused has been booked under sections of the IPC and POCSO Act, the officer said, adding further investigation is on.
'The girl was disturbed, but after the police took her into confidence, she narrated the ordeal. A case was subsequently registered and five out of the 10 accused were arrested,' Solapur police said.
According to the police, the 17-year-old girl had gone missing on January 14 and a probe zeroed in on a village in Mehkar tehsil in neighbouring Buldhana district where she was kept.
Ravi Soni (24) lured the girl by giving her toffee and took her to secluded place and raped here on Thursday, they said.
