JAIPUR: A 21-year-old youth out on a bail in a rape case allegedly raped the same 17-year-old girl again in the city.
According to police, the accused has been named in three FIRs.
The accused is said to be acquainted with the survivor’s family.
The family last year in July had accused him of allegedly abducting the girl. A final report (FR)was later submitted in the case closing the probe.
Later in October, he was booked again, this time in the rape case.
According to the Kardhani police, the accused had come out on a bail about a month ago and on Sunday called up the girl and threatened her to visit him near Shekhawat Marg at 4pm.
According to Station House Officer, Rajesh Bafana, the accused threatened her and took him to a secluded room near the Bagru area where he allegedly raped the minor.
The girl’s family members became worried when she did not return till late evening.
Her mobile phone was also switched off after she had left the house on her scooter.
The family members fretting about the minor’s whereabouts looked for her across several places.
The girl sometime on Monday morning sent her location to the family. The accused had fled by the time she was recovered from the Bagru area.
The Kardhani police said that they took her for the medical examination and recorded her statements.
“We are looking for the accused identified by the girl. An FIR was already registered and every attempt is being made to track down the accused,” Bafana told TOI.
The Jaipur police said that the girl was allegedly threatened by the accused of dire consequence if she did not meet him.
“This is the third FIR that was registered against the accused. He has lived in different parts of the city as a tenant. We are searching for him,” an official said.
