As per reports, the shopkeeper accompanied her to the spot and saw the men thrashing the girl. “They fled after seeing me. But the girl was so terrified that she ran without clothes for over half a kilometre. Initially, she refused to trust me and take my help. But after a few minutes, she trusted me. I gave my clothes to her,” the shopkeeper said, according to reports. A case has been filed under sexual crimes against children and atrocity against Scheduled Castes. With inputs from agencies
