Reportedly, the video is few months old and has only surfaced now. The mother of the minor filed a complaint at the local police station, and following that, 3 of the accused have been arrested including Shakir. They were booked under POCSO and other relevant sections of the IPC.
The victim’s family said that Shakir trapped the minor girl and kept exploiting her for 2 years while promising to marry her. As per the family, Shakir took her to the jungle a few months back, where he drugged her and then proceeded to rape her. Soon, his accomplices joined him there and they beat up the girl while removing her clothes and recorded her video.
Superintendent of Police (Rural) Kamlesh Thakur said that the arrests were made on the complaint of a woman, who alleged that a 22-year-old youth named Shakir sexually exploited her 17-year-old daughter on the pretext of marriage for two years.
The girl has been sent for a medical examination and further investigation in the case is underway.
