The Shimlapuri police have booked two persons on the charge of raping a 14-year-old girl, a student of Class VII in a government school. The suspects have been identified as Ramu and Keshav, both residents of Kwality Chowk, Shimlapuri.

The girl told the police that she was the youngest among four siblings. Her father died in 2008. In February this year, she met Ramu and became friends with him.

Recently, Ramu took her to the house of his friend Keshav where he forcibly put off her clothes and raped her. “While Ramu was having sex with me, his friend Keshav arrived there and started shooting a video. The suspects threatened me that if I revealed anything to the police, they will upload my video on the Internet. Fearing social humiliation, I could not garner courage to reveal anything to my family or the police,” said the victim.

Now, the suspects have uploaded her video on the internet and shared it on WhatsApp groups.

A case under Section 376 (rape), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act; section 67 A and 66 E of the Information Technology Act has been registered against the suspects who have absconded.
