The Meghalaya Police is yet to make any arrests even after 6 days of two minor girls being gang-raped in two separate locations of South West Garo Hills along the Assam-Meghalaya border.

The South West Garo Hills Police said that although no arrests have been made yet in connection with the cases, they are very likely to identify some of the perpetrators who were involved in this heinous crime.

SP South West Garo Hills, Vikas Yadav said that an investigation into the matter is underway and they are working with the Assam police to nab the suspects. Many people have been interrogated and they are hopeful of a breakthrough soon.

As per police inputs, the two minors who had gone to the annual fair at Chenga Benga which is close to the Assam border, along with two friends were gang-raped by a group of men on April 17.

Three separate FIRs have been registered at the Ampati Police Station.

SP Yadav said that the miscreants were waiting for the victims. In one incident, the men knocked the boy accompanying the minor girl unconscious, and raped the girl.

As per police, the minor boy was tied up and beaten up mercilessly knocking him unconscious. But the minor girl did not lose consciousness and recollected the horror she had gone through.

Later, the other minor girl with her friend also went to the same place where the same gang caught hold of the victims and gang-raped the girl.
