June 22nd, 2011 - 7:59 pm ICT by IANSLucknow, June 22 (IANS) Even as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati discussed tougher laws to deal with rapists, two more rapes and a sexual assault bid were reported in the state, an official said Wednesday.
With the fresh cases, 11 rapes have been reported in the state over the past 72 hours.
According to an official spokesman, the first rape was reported from Naubatpur village in Unnao district, 50 km from here.
“A 16-year-old girl was raped by a neighbour’s relative Mukesh when she was alone at home Wednesday morning,” Unnao Superintendent of Police R.K. Shukla told reporters.
He said: “We have arrested Mukesh.”
The other rape took place in Kanch village in Bulandshahr district, about 400 km from here. A 20-year-old woman was raped and murdered Tuesday night by three men.
Bulandshahr Senior Superintendent of Police R.K.S. Rathore told IANS over telephone “the woman had gone to answer the nature’s call when she was dragged to nearby fields, gang-raped and strangulated to death”.
“Her body was recovered after her father went searching for her when she did not return home,” he said.
Of the three people named by her father in the first information report (FIR), Sunil and Narendra were arrested. A manhunt was launched for third accused Bhola.
A teenaged girl managed to resist a rape bid Wednesday in Lagucha village in Lakhimpur-Kheri district, about 170 km from here, the official said.
“Fifteen-year-old Anita resisted neighbour Akru Yadav’s attempt to overpower her and rape her in the fields Wednesday morning. Yadav tore her clothes, but the girl fought bravely till villagers saved her,” Lakhimpur-Kheri Superintendent of Police Amit Chandra said.
“The culprit managed to escape. But we have registered a case of attempted rape against him,” he added.
