The boys are accused of raping the young girl in the city of Ballia, in Uttar Pradesh, on Friday, September 20, Times of India reported
The victim’s family said that the girl was having a bath when the boys lured her away to another location where they gang-raped her.
Police added that her family took the seven-year-old to the hospital when her health deteriorated on Saturday. She is not considered to be in a life-threatening condition.
