PANCHKULA: A 19-year-old youth allegedly raped a 14-year-old girl twice after filming her the first time in
Pinjore,
police said on Sunday after arresting the accused and two of his friends.
The
rape survivor, in her complaint, alleged the main accused was his neighbour and had raped her around a month back near his rented accommodation. He had then allegedly made a video clip of the incident on his mobile phone. The girl alleged he threatened to make the clip viral if she did not come to meet him at his house on Saturday. When she reached his house, he called his two friends. Both allegedly harassed her, but did not sexually assault her. The accused then allegedly raped her again. Police said the accused also stopped her way and did not allow her to leave. The girl somehow reached home and narrated the incident to her mother, who lodged a complaint. Police registered a case under Section 6 of POCSO (Protection of Child from Sexual Offences) Act, Sections 376 (punishment for rape), 354 A (sexual harassment), 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement), 34 (act done by several person with same intention) and 503 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Pinjore police station.
Kalka assistant commissioner of police Om Prakash said, “All the three accused were arrested on Sunday.”
On May 3, police arrested a 24-year-old man for allegedly raping a 25-year-old woman in Panchkula.
