A Class 9 student was reportedly kidnapped and raped in a moving automobile on the Gwalior-Shivpuri National Highway in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior district last month, according to police. The crime occurred within the jurisdiction of Mohna police station, officials said.
On Friday, Gwalior ASP Niranjan Sharma informed that a case was registered at Mohana police station under the relevant sections of the rape and POCSO Act after the family members became aware of the situation.
“A police team was formed to nab the accused. The team caught the two accused, the rapist and his accomplice who shot the video. Both of them were being questioned. The vehicle used in the incident is also being seized and a team has been sent to nab the third accomplice. The accused are aged between 18 and 20 years,” ASP stated.
The accused also shot a video of the attack and shared it on social media. When the juvenile girl informed her family about the event, they went to the police and filed a report.
ASP Sharma said that the 13-year-old girl, a Class 9 student, filed a complaint at the Mohna police station. She stated she befriended a Chinour youngster around a year ago, who then introduced her to his peers. They communicated using chat.
On June 1, the accused arrived in a car with two friends and called the girl, who was then forced to sit in the car and driven away, according to the officer.
“One of the youth raped her on the back seat of the car. During this, one youth was driving the car; the other one was sitting on the seat next to the driver and was making a video of the incident. After committing the crime, the accused continuously attempted to blackmail the girl on the basis of the video. The accused also threatened to kill her but when the girl did not listen to them, the accused made her video viral,” ASP Sharma added.
