A 12-year-old girl was allegedly abducted and gang-raped by two boys at Mohali village here following which one of them has been detained, police said today.
"Both the accused, aged 14 years, had kidnapped the girl, a student of class VI, on Saturday evening and confined her to an abandoned public toilet near the village, where they repeatedly raped her," District Superintendent of Police (SP) Sachin Atulkar told PTI here.
The girl was rescued by a passerby last night, after he heard her shouting for help, the officer said adding that, "The victim was admitted to the district hospital and discharged this evening."
One of the accused has been detained and a hunt is on to nab the other one, Atulkar said.
