Six minor schoolgirls in the age group of 15-17 years jumped off a speeding pick-up truck after the vehicle’s driver and five other occupants allegedly tried to molest them in Gujarat’s Chhotaudepur district.
The truck went off the road and overturned as the driver, Suresh Bhil, lost control over the wheels when the girls started jumping off in a frantic attempt to save themselves from molesters on Tuesday evening, said district superintendent of police (SP) Imtiyaz Shaikh.
One of the accused, the vehicle owner, has been arrested, while the girls received minor injuries in the incident, he said, adding the truck occupants also snatched cash and belongings of the victims.
