Rudrapur: Police have detained three boys for allegedly attempting to rape a four-year-old girl in a school in Udham Singh Nagar district, as reported by the girl’s mother. The incident occurred on September 3 at a primary school.
According to police reports, the mother dropped her daughter off at school around 8 AM, as usual. However, the young girl returned home crying just a few hours later. When questioned by her mother, the girl revealed that the boys had beaten her, and she was experiencing pain in her private parts.
