While sharing a newspaper clip on social media, people claimed that two Muslim boys raped a minor Hindu girl in Baghpat city of Uttar Pradesh. In reality, the girl who was raped hails from the minority community, and the accused belong to the majority community.
A newspaper clip related to the rape of a minor girl is doing rounds on social media. In the viral newspaper clip, It is written that in the Ramala area of Baghpat, UP, two youths kidnapped a 15-year-old girl from her house and then gang-raped her.

It is being widely shared on Twitter and Facebook with a similar claim.
Claim:
Two Muslim boys raped a minor Hindu girl in a village of Baghpat district of Uttar Pradesh.
Fact Check:
The Logical Indian Fact Check team verified the claim and found it false. A minor Muslim girl was raped by two Hindu boys in the actual incident.
In the viral newspaper clip, it was mentioned that the incident took place in the Ramala area of Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh. Taking a clue from that, we did a keyword search and found an article published by Jagran dated 29 November 2021. The title of the article reads in Hindi, "बागपत में अगवा कर किशोरी के साथ सामूहिक दुष्कर्म, दूसरे संप्रदाय के हैं आरोपित युवक"
[English Translation: Girl kidnapped and gang-raped in Baghpat, accused youth belong to another community.]
According to the report, the accused were identified as Paramjit Singh and Prashant. It means that the accused don't belong to the Muslim community.
On searching more, we found a tweet of Baghpat Police on this matter. In response to the question of a Twitter user, the Baghpat Police has also written that in this case two accused named Paramjit and Prashant have been arrested under the POSCO Act.
We also found another tweet of Baghpat Police in which they debunked the claim related to the religion of the victim. While talking to Alt News, Bhagpat SHO also denies this viral claim. He said, "The accused and victims are from different communities. The victim, who is a minor, is from a minority community."
Our investigation shows that the viral newspaper clip is being shared with the wrong claim. The girl who was raped hails from the Muslim community, and two Hindu youths have been accused of this. Hence, the viral claim is false.
