Udaipur: In a shocking incident, a minor boy studying in class 10 has been arrested for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl with the help of his sister in Rajasthan’s Hiran Magri area of Udaipur district.
“The accused is a drug addict and hence has been admitted to a de-addiction centre. However, his sister is at home. We have recorded the victim’s statement and further investigation is on," Station House Officer (SHO) of Hiran Magri police station, Ram Sumer Meena said.
According to Police officials, the victim and the two accused were friends who studied in the same private school, as well as went to the same tuition class.
The boy had been after the victim asking her to share a nude video of her which she refused. Later, his sister also pressured the victim to send the video.
Soon after, the siblings called the victim to a room where the sister locked her in along with her brother. The accused then raped her and made a video.
The Police have started an investigation and have registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. A case has also been registered under the IT Act.
Police have also recorded the statement of the victim before a judge in court.
According to SHO Meena, the incident happened in August 2022 but was reported recently when the objectionable video went viral on social media.
The accused circulated the video of the incident in the school’s social media group and the victim’s schoolmates reported it to the principal.
The principal then informed the matter to the girl's family and lodged a complaint against the minor siblings at the Hiran Magri police station.
