Accused had raped another dailt and pledged to 'take responsibility' if she were pregnant

The 18-year-old Rajendra Bohara, who has been arrested on charge of murdering 12-year-old Samjhana BK of Bajhang after rape, has been found to have raped another dalit girl just six weeks back.

Police investigation has revealed that Bohara had raped a 14-year dalit girl on August 13 but the case did not reach the police as the two families reached a settlement in the village with Bohara 'promising to take responsibility' should the girl be pregnant.
