A heinous incident of minor gang rape has been reported from the Hekora-Sutabari, a bordering village along the Kamrup and Goalpara district of Assam. Three miscreants who are the neigbours of the victim also tried to kill the victim by throwing her into the river from a bridge.

Meanwhile, in Assam’s Barpeta district a 7-year-old minor girl was allegedly raped by one Hanif Ali.
