VEHARI: A 13-year-old girl was allegedly raped by two youths at Ahmedpur village in the Karampur police area of Mailsi, some 30km from here, on Saturday.

The girl, the daughter of a blind man, was abducted at gunpoint by the suspects as she was going to a madressah.

The suspects took her to a place on a motorcycle where they raped her. They threw her near a graveyard when she fell unconscious.

A passer-by informed her family who took her to the rural health centre.
