GANGTOK, October 5: Chewang Sherpa who has been absconding after allegedly raping two girls at Sombaria was arrested by West Sikkim police today.
Mr. Sherpa (30) has been accused of raping the two minor girls on the night of October 1 at Hattaran busty, Sombaria. The victims had gone to a relative's house at Hattaran busty on the occasion of Dasain where the accused had allegedly raped them taking advantage of the darkness.
