Six people, including four minors, have been taken into custody in Tripura following the alleged gang-rape of a minor girl, prompting swift action from district police. The matter came to light after the survivor, accompanied by her family, approached the local police station to file a detailed complaint about the assault and identify the individuals involved. Recognizing the severity of the crime and the victim's age, law enforcement immediately mobilized multiple search teams to track down and detain the accused within hours of the report.
Police carried out coordinated raids across suspected hideouts using local tip-offs and digital tracking, resulting in the apprehension of two adult suspects and four juveniles. The survivor was promptly taken to a state medical facility for mandatory medical examinations, necessary healthcare, and specialized trauma counseling. Authorities confirmed that the two adults were formally arrested and presented before a local magistrate, while the four minors were produced before the Juvenile Justice Board and sent to an observation home in line with statutory juvenile welfare protocols.
An FIR has been lodged under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) along with stringent provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Forensic specialists and investigators have gathered key physical and digital evidence from the crime scene to build a solid prosecution case. Senior police officials confirmed that the probe is being expedited on priority to ensure a comprehensive chargesheet is filed before a fast-track special court for swift legal proceedings.
