In a shocking incident, two youths allegedly abducted a minor Dalit girl and burnt her face with matchsticks over some enmity with her family in Khurrampur village, about 21 km from Rewari.
The eight-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped by Jag Ram and Pawan, who were later joined by their associate, Kala Jat, on December 8. The trio allegedly burnt her face at a deserted place using matchsticks, police said today.
The accused committed the crime over some enmity with the minor's family, they added.
Later, when the girl narrated her ordeal to her parents, her father Mukesh Kumar yesterday filed a complaint following which the police registered a case of abduction, causing grievous hurt by means of a blazing substance, unwelcome physical contact and under the SC/ST Act against Jag Ram, Pawan and Kala Jat.
The medical examination of the minor was carried out yesterday at the community health centre of Bawal. Police said efforts were on to arrest the accused.
