The 17-year-old student was taken to hospital by Good Samaritans who found her on the road writhing in pain. She was treated and discharged at a health facility in Elugulu.
Butula OCPD Stephen Wambua said police have launched investigations into the incident.
“We have received some good leads which will help us arrest the culprits and arraign them in court,” said Mr Wambua.
Elsewhere, a parent has petitioned police to help arrest a man, 25, who allegedly impregnated his 17-year-old daughter, a Form Two student at Tingolo in Butula.
