Three naval personnel among four booked for rape of minor

The fourth accused is a civilian, an employee of the Military Engineer Services, who has also been arrested.

The move follows a complaint by the girl’s father who complained to police on Sunday against the four for molesting and raping his minor daughter over the past few months.

The INS Kunjali’s Naval Provost Marshal and the Western Naval Command are extending full cooperation to police for investigating the matter.

“This is absolutely unacceptable and we have shown no leniency. We immediately informed police and handed over the accused,” an official said.
