The victim girl, aged about 15 years, has stated in her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. that the petitioner and coaccused Girja Devi lifted her and they stated that they would get her married. The victim started crying. In the meantime, the police came and took her to police station and handed over her to the parents.
