INDORE: Four youngsters have been arrested for allegedly raping a 17-year-old girl, filming it and then using the video to extort her. The suspects are in their early 20s and live in Aerodrome Road area. Police say the main accused had an affair with the minor for a few months, raped her and took obscene videos of her.
To her horror, he then demanded Rs 2 lakh from her, threatening to upload the videos on social media unless she paid up. She refused and contacted some of his friends and requested them to convince him into deleting the videos, say police. Instead, they took advantage of her situation and joined the youth in demanding money. According to aerodrome police station in-charge Sanjay Shukla, the girl borrowed around Rs 25,000 from relatives and friends and gave it to the accused to get the videos deleted. But the youths didn’t heed her pleas and kept threatening her for the money. The girl finally confided in her family, who immediately filed a police complaint. “All four accused have been arrested under IPC 376 and 384, and POCSO Act,” said Shukla.
