Sonipath : A gang of four was arrested in Haryana for murdering 2 underage girls by force-feeding them with pesticide after gang-raping them. The incident took place in Sonipath, Haryana.
According to the police, the two teen sisters aged 14 and 16 lived with their mother, while the four accused workers from outside state lived on rent in the adjacent building. On the intervening night of 5th and 6th August, the men - all under 25 - barged into the girls’ home, threatened their mother and raped the girls after which, the assailants forced them to drink pesticide.
As the girls began to slump from effect of the poison, the gang threatened the woman asking her to say they got bitten by snake. The girls were transported to a hospital in Delhi but one of them died on way and the other a little later while under treatment. Although the mother told hospital doctors the snake bite story, police felt suspicious and questioned her in detail, following which, she revealed the truth and the culprits were arrested.
