Kolkata, Dec 30 (IBNS): The Indian Army on Wednesday strongly condemned the alleged rape of a minor girl by jawans on the Howrah-Amritsar Express on Dec 27.
In a communique, the Army has firmly reiterated that such an undisciplined behaviour by any soldier will not be tolerated. 
 
"Strict disciplinary action would be taken against soldiers if involved in such acts. Army is also wholeheartedly assisting the Police in the investigation," the statement said.
 
According to reports, a 14-year-old girl, who is a resident of Kolkata's Dumdum area, fled from her house and boarded Punjub bound Amritsar Mail from Howrah Railway Station on Sunday.
 
Three Army personnel allegedly gang-raped her for more than six time inside a compartment, reserved for the Indian Army. 
 
After getting information, the Jharkhand GRP stopped the train at Madhupur station and rescued the girl in an unconscious state from the compartment and arrested one Army man, Manjrish Tripathi (40)- on Sunday night.
 
However, the girl was taken to Howrah and the accused jawan was handed over to Howrah GRP on Tuesday.
 
After  medical test, the victim's statement has been recorded by Howrah District Magistrate.
 
The Indian Army will also be sending an investigation team from Fort William, sources said.
