ITBP jawan raped minor multiple times in official quarters, impregnated her; arrested

Gangtok: An Indo-Tibetan Border Police, or ITBP, jawan in Sikkim has allegedly raped a minor multiple times at his official quarters and impregnated her. Police, on Sunday, said that the accused personnel has been arrested.

The incident took place in Rangpo town in Pakyong district.

The incident came to fore after the mother of the 13-year-old girl, in her complaint, alleged that a teenaged local boy also sexually assaulted her since February. Police said they have detained the boy as well and legal action will be taken against him.

The girl’s mother alleged that the paramilitary personnel, an assistant sub-inspector, raped her multiple times at his residential quarters in Raj Bhavan’s Winter Camp in Rangpo since April.

Police booked the jawan, a native of Dharchula in Uttarakhand’s Pithoragarh district, under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act’s section 4 (punishment for penetrative sexual assault) and section 6 (punishment for aggravated penetrative sexual assault).

The girl was medically examined at the primary health care in Rangpo, they said.

Police said they are investigating the case, and trying to ascertain if the local boy and the ITBP jawan had any connection.

The sequence of events is being established, they said, refusing to divulge details about how the alleged rapes and assaults continued for so long.
