Roshan allegedly went to the child's home on June 19 and lured her there under false pretences before raping her alongside his pal Gajanan. According to Pramod Ghonge, in charge of the Umred police station, "Roshan and Gajanan took turns raping the girl." They handed her some money while threatening her to stop talking about it. Not her.

Digital
Desk: According to a senior police source, nine persons have been detained in
Nagpur district's Umed town on suspicion of gang-raping an 11-year-old girl
after police officers looking into a murder case learned that their main
suspect was also a rapist.

As per the police, the girl was too afraid to report
anything. However, the main suspect, 29-year-old Roshan, allegedly confessed to
the rape while authorities were looking into a man's death over a gold ring,
which led to Roshan's arrest.

The
nine suspects have been taken into custody, according to DSP Sanjay Purandare,
deputy superintendent of police for Nagpur rural. Gajanan (age 40), Premadas
Gathibandhe (age 38), Govinda Nate (age 22), Saurabh alias Karan Rithe (age
22), Nitesh Fukat (age 30), Rakesh Mahakalkar (age 24), Pradyumna Karutkar (age
22), and Nikhil alias Pinku Narule (age 22) have been identified by the police
(24).

Roshan allegedly went to the child's home on June 19 and
lured her there under false pretences before raping her alongside his pal
Gajanan. According to Pramod Ghonge, in charge of the Umred police station,
"Roshan and Gajanan took turns raping the girl." They handed her some
money while threatening her stop talking about it. Not her.

A
couple of days later, Roshan approached her once more, this time with a
different companion. Soon, a pattern emerged. And it carried on for maybe a
month after that.

The
police detained Badal at the Akola train station on suspicion of killing
Shubham Damdu, 25, of Umred, over a gold ring, before Roshan and another
associate were apprehended. Roshan ended up discussing the sexual assault while
being questioned about the murder.

According
to Ghonge, an offence was reported under the Protection of Children from Sexual
Offenses (POCSO) Act, sections 506 (criminal intimidation), 376 (d) (gangrape),
and 376 (2) (n) (repeatedly raping the same lady) of the Indian Penal Code
(IPC).
