GURUGRAM: A 14-year-old girl studying in Class 8 was allegedly repeatedly raped and blackmailed by a neighbour in New Colony area. The 19-year-old accused man was arrested on Tuesday.
In her complaint to police, the girl’s sister stated: “The youth lived in our neighbourhood and used to visit our home. On November 6, when she was alone at home, he raped her for the first time and threatened to kill our family members if she revealed what had happened. After that, he started exploiting my sister.”
Over the next few days, the behaviour of the girl changed and she started remaining silent and upset, her sister added in the complaint. When she was pressed about what had happened, she shared her ordeal with her sister on Monday, said police spokesperson Subhash Boken.

On Tuesday, police picked him up from his house.
After being produced in a district court, he was sent to judicial custody.
