The Pollachi allwomen police on Saturday arrested nine men for raping a 16-year-old girl over the course of two years. The incident came to light after the minor girl went missing on Thursday.

The arrested were identified as A Amanullah, 27, T Bagavathi alias Mohammed Ashif, A Mohammed Rafiq, 28, J Syed Ibrahim, 25, A Mohammed Ali, K David alias Senthilkumar, 30, Irshad Basha, 28, S Mohammed Khan, 44, from Pollachi and N Arun Nehru, 28, of Tirupur. They were booked under sections 366 (A) (procuration of minor girl) of the Indian Penal Code and read with 5 (I) (g) and 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012.

Police said the victim was a Class X dropout from a village near Pollachi. “Her mother had passed away when she was just two years old. After her father married another woman, her grandmother took care of her. The prime accused, Amanullah, lured her into a relationship and raped her along with his friends. They had threatened her with dire consequences if she disclosed anything,” a police officer told TOI. “On Thursday, Amanullah picked her up from the village and raped her along with his friend Bagavathi. When she requested them to drop her at her home, the two refused and invited their friend Prabhu to rape her. Her relatives came to know about the incident after she returned home on Friday. They approached the Pollachi all-women police,” the officer added.

The girl told police that she was sexually assaulted by nine people at various places in the last two years.

Police are on the lookout for Prabhu.
