In the Beawar district of Rajasthan, a case of rape of 4-5 minor girls has come to light. The family members stated that a gang was behind the heinous crime and they had taken obscene pictures and videos of the girls and were blackmailing them. Later, the victims were even pressurised to recite Kalma, keep fasts, and worship Islam. The case pertains to Bijainagar police station area.
People gathered the police station and demanded the arrest of the accused. Additional cops were summoned from four police stations and the protesters were assured by the Masuda deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Sajjan Singh to pacify them. The accused have been identified as Rihan Mohammad (20), son of Jaan Mohammad, resident of Rajnagar Police Station area, Bijainagar, Sohail Manshuri (19), son of Anwar Hussain from Taro ka Kheda Bijainagar, Luqman alias Soheb (20), son of Mohammad Usman of Hurda Road Gulabpura, Arman Pathan (19) son of Kalu Khan, native of Rajnagar Police Station area, Bijainagar, Sahil Qureshi (19) son of Mohammad Sabir from Sajanabad Police Station area, Gulabpura. Two juvenile offenders have also been detained.
Reportedly, the family members of the three minor girls reported the matter to the Vijayanagar Police Station and submitted a complaint on Monday. They said that the culprits had been putting pressure on their daughters to talk to them. They were given Chinese mobile phones and were forced to make their underage friends to chat with the offenders who were sexually exploiting them.
The complainants said, “When we inquired from our daughters, we came to know that there is a gang, which includes Sohail Mansuri, Soheb, Arman, Sahil, Luqman, and 10-15 other boys. They also captured photos and videos of underage girls besides our daughters which were then used to blackmail them. The victims were also given false promises of erasing the explicit material if they introduce them to other girls. The accused threatened and pushed the girls to meet with them. They are trapping our daughters in their net. They are luring them by offering small toys and mobiles. The same is happening with other girls in the area as well. They forced them to go to cafes and wear clothes of their choice”.
The complainants added, “We learned that the girls were forced to introduce each other’s friends for physical exploitation by the accused when we spoke with our daughters. They were also threatened with murder if they didn’t comply. We discovered that the girls have identical phones when we got in touch with the families of their friends. Likewise, they have experienced similar ordeal.”
Three separate cases were registered and an inquiry was initiated. At the circle level, special police team was formed, special informers were appointed and details were collected with the help of technical support, following which an operation was undertaken to nab the perpetrators who were eventually arrested.
