Nagpur cops arrest tik tok star after posting torture video of girlfriend on scooter

NAGPUR: A 19-year-old Tiktok star, identified as Sameer Khan and his accomplice, Mohd Sadiq Siddiqui Shah (25), were arrested by crime branch on Saturday for their alleged role behind posting a video of a young girl being thrashed on a moving scooter.
Police were alerted by a socially active group after they had come across the video posted on social media.
It’s learnt that Khan, miffed with his 17-year-old girlfriend for being friendly with another youngster, had forcibly whisked her away on a scooter driven by Shah from Kamal chowk on June 18. She was released at Itabhatti Chowk after some onlookers rushed to rescue her.
The girl had fainted at the Itabhatti Chowk from where she was rushed to a hospital but did not lodged a complaint fearing more humiliation and torture.
Crime branch had earlier rounded up Khan in the past for posting rumours about Covid on social media last year.
While the scooter was being driven by Shah, Khan was seated behind with the girl in between. Khan, while recording the video in selfie mode, was also seen narrating the reason behind his dramatic revenge action on his girlfriend whom he abuses too for allegedly two-timing him.
As he was speaking on camera, Khan was also seen manhandling the girl who was finally released at Itabhatti chowk. He was also heard mentioning about having physically exploited the girl in the past. It had later came to fore that he was repeatedly forcing himself upon her by promising marriage at different lodges in Kamptee and Kanhan.
The crime branch, assisted by the cyber cell, had first managed to trace the girl in north Nagpur and later zeroed in on Khan and Shah following her assistance.
The crime branch team of senior PI Sandipan Pawar and assistant PI Pawan More under addl CP Sunil Phulari and DCP Gajanan Rajmane managed to crack the case within a short time. Khan and Shah were later handed over to Pachpaoli police station where they were slapped with various offences, including rape.
