The police have started the paperwork to be submitted to court for a DNA test of the accused in the gangrape of a 12-year-old girl in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya. The police will conduct the DNA test of the accused Moin Khan and Raju Khan after getting permission from court.
On July 30, the Ayodhya Police arrested Samajwadi Party functionary Moin Khan, who runs a bakery, along with his employee Raju Khan for allegedly gang-raping and impregnating the minor, who was an employee at Khan's bakery.
A sample of the womb of the rape survivor admitted for treatment at King George's Medical University (KGMU) was also kept.
The DNA test will be conducted after the investigating officer gets permission from court.
According to police sources, the girl was raped by the duo two months ago and the act was also recorded. The incident came to light when a recent medical examination revealed that the teen was pregnant.
On August 2, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath met the minor. He also ordered the suspension of two police personnel for delay in investigating the case after meeting the girl.
The accused's bakery was also demolished by the district administration after it was sealed by the food adulteration department as it was found to be illegal, Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Sohawal Ashok Kumar said.
