Guwahati: Minor girls abducted, assaulted at Holi event; 2 held

Guwahati: Two minor girls were allegedly kidnapped and molested during Holi celebrations on Tuesday in Assam’s Guwahati.

While two persons have been arrested, the primary accused remains at large, according to the authorities, as reported by the Hindustan Times.

The incident unfolded when the girls were walking on the streets of Kahilipara and a white car stopped in front of them.

Three men allegedly forcibly took them inside the car. The girls were then transported to the Ganeshguri area where the accused attempted to sexually assault them. Later, they were released under a bridge in Ganeshguri, claimed the family members based on the complaint filed.

In response to the complaint, the Kahilipara Police Station registered a case under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including kidnapping and molestation.

“Since there was no sign of sexual intercourse, we registered a case of kidnapping attempt and molestation against the three accused. Two of them were arrested on Wednesday while the prime accused is still absconding,” an official was quoted.

All three accused individuals are residents of Guwahati, as per the police.
