Over a month after 14-yr-old girl raped, GRP arrests accused
Meerut, May 2 -- Over a month after a 14-year-old girl being raped in a railway yard near Bareilly station, the Government Railway Police (GRP) in Bareilly arrested a suspect accused following an extensive investigation involving eight dedicated teams and the review of approximately 500 CCTV cameras across railway stations from Tanakpur to Mathura. The accused, identified as 30-year-old Chandrakesh Kashyap who hails from Nagariya Manpur village Soron sub divsiona of Kasganj district, confessed to the crime during interrogation, revealing a chilling account of the incident of March 27 and his criminal history.

As the train began moving, the girl's family disembarked, leaving her behind. Seizing the opportunity, Chandrakesh lured the girl off the train when it slowed down at an outer area, took her to the railway yard and raped her.

The breakthrough came on Wednesday morning when a suspicious individual was spotted roaming near Bareilly Railway Junction....
