Mangalore, December 7: The Mangalore city police have continued manhunt with the help of Kasargod district police for two accused, who reportedly kidnapped a minor girl and gang-raped her earlier this week.

Forced to drop out Class 9 due to poverty and other reasons, the helpless girl from K C Road was brutally raped by Ismaeel from KC Road and his friend Raheem from Uppala on Tuesday, December 4.

The partially-mentally challenged victim, in her statement to police, said the duo had lured her to a house in Uppala, Kasargod in Kerala and repeatedly raped her in an illegal confinement.

The 14-year-old victim, who is yet to recover from trauma, has continued to receive treatment at a private hospital in Deralakatte near Mangalore. Hospital sources said that the victim needed more time to recover.

Report Sought

Meanwhile, the Central Ministry of Women and Child Welfare Development has sought a report from the state government on the rape of minor girl.

It is learnt that both Women and Child Welfare Development deputy director and Child Welfare Committee chairperson submitted reports on the incident to the Central Ministry of Women and Child Welfare Development.
