Pilibhit (Uttar Pradesh), Dec 1 (SocialNews.XYZ) A 13-year-old mentally challenged girl was allegedly raped by a man in a village under the Sungarhi police circle.
The accused, who is a family friend, took the girl away on the pretext of buying toffees and raped her.
The crime was committed on November 27, but the girl's family avoided lodging a complaint, fearing loss of family reputation.
