Meanwhile, a minor girl has alleged that two armymen raped her inside a compartment of the Howrah-Amritsar Express, after being compelled to consume alcohol by a third jawan. The 14-year-old girl, in her statement to the RPF, said that she had boarded the train from Howrah Junction. In the train compartment, she alleged that she was first forced to drink alcohol by a jawan and then raped by two others, PTI reported quoting RPF sub-inspector P Jani.
He said, they got a message from RPF Howrah, which received a complaint from the girl's father that his daughter has allegedly 'fled' and was travelling by the train. After receiving the message, RPF raided the train when it reached Madhupur railway station.
One jawan was arrested and the other two were absconding. (With inputs from agencies)
