Seven teenage boys allegedly raped an eight-year-old girl after inviting her to play hide and seek with them in a village in Tripura, police said on Sunday.
Six of the accused, who live in Tabaria in the West Tripura district, were arrested and one is absconding. Four of them were sent to a juvenile home.
Two others, who were around 12 years of age, were hospitalised as they tested positive for coronavirus, police said.
