A minor physically challenged Dalit girl was allegedly gangraped by two boys at a remote village in Orissa's Malkangiri district, police said on Tuesday.
The 13-year-old girl, student of class sixth, was allegedly raped by two boys, aged around 15 years, at MPV-65 village under MV-79 area when she was returning home after giving food to her father, working in the fields.
The incident occurred on May 1 as the girl, who is dumb, was overpowered by the duo, who raped her near a roadside bush, police said, adding the girl's family had initially approached the village committee for justice.
