When she complained about the crime to police, four men from the family of the accused gang-raped her at gunpoint. The girl was found lying naked at the roadside under the Ramgarhwa police station area, police said.
The victim was admitted to Motihari Sadar Hospital in a critical condition. The accused are absconding.
In another part of the district, a 10-year old was raped by two men. The minor had to undergo major surgery after the incident.
According to girl’s brother, both the accused kidnapped her and raped her.
