AS-RAPE

A five-year-old girl was

allegedly raped by five persons in Assam's Karbi Anglong

district and all the accused were arrested on Sunday.

The girl was picked up by five persons from her aunt's

home at Chirkangnap village on Saturday morning.

"She was then taken to a nearby jungle and five

persons raped her.

After committing the crime, they threatened the girl

of dire consequences if she informed anyone," a police

the girl narrated the incident to her family members and

villagers, who filed a complaint at Diphu police station.

The police launched a manhunt during which all the

five persons, including three minors, were arrested.
