Madhepura, Bihar:
A disturbing case of gang rape involving a minor student has emerged from Bihar’s Madhepura district, raising serious concerns about the safety of children and women in the region. The incident occurred in the Singheswar police station area, where the victim was found unconscious near a temple complex on Sunday evening.
According to police officials, local residents noticed the minor girl lying unconscious near the temple premises and immediately alerted authorities. She was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. Due to her critical condition, doctors referred her to a higher medical center for advanced care. The victim reportedly remained unconscious for nearly two days.
After regaining consciousness on Wednesday, the minor recorded her statement before the police, revealing shocking details of the crime. She stated that a young man lured her under the pretext of marriage and called her to a location, where he and four of his associates allegedly sexually assaulted her.
Accused Identified by Victim
In her statement, the victim named the main accused as Raushan Kumar, a resident of Basantpur village under the Shankarpur police station limits. She alleged that Raushan Kumar had promised to marry her and used this assurance to gain her trust. Once she arrived at the location, she was allegedly gang-raped by Raushan and his four friends.
Based on the statement, Singheswar police registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Acting promptly, the police arrested the main accused. Efforts are currently underway to identify and arrest the remaining accused involved in the crime.
Police Investigation Underway
Senior police officials confirmed the arrest and said that the investigation is being conducted with utmost seriousness. “The main accused has been taken into custody, and raids are being conducted at multiple locations to arrest the other suspects. Strict legal action will be taken against all those involved,” a police officer said.
The police have collected medical and forensic evidence and recorded statements of witnesses, including local residents who found the victim near the temple. Officials have assured that the victim’s identity is being protected as per legal guidelines.
Victim’s Health Condition
Doctors treating the minor stated that her condition has stabilized, though she remains under medical supervision. Counseling and psychological support are being provided to help her cope with the trauma. Child welfare authorities have also been informed, and necessary steps are being taken to ensure her safety and rehabilitation.
Medical experts emphasized the importance of both physical and mental care in such cases, particularly when the victim is a minor. Authorities have assured full support to the victim and her family.
Public Reaction and Demand for Justice

Growing Concern Over Crimes Against Minors
The Madhepura incident once again highlights the growing concern over crimes against minors in Bihar. Despite strict laws like the POCSO Act, cases of sexual violence continue to surface, underlining the need for better enforcement, faster investigations, and increased public awareness.
Experts believe that education, parental awareness, and timely police intervention are crucial in preventing such crimes. Authorities have urged citizens to report any suspicious activities and assured that complaints related to sexual offences will be handled with priority.
