INDORE: The police have arrested three persons for allegedly abducting and gang-raping a 19-year-old girl in Juni Indore area on Thursday night. The accused allegedly filmed the incident on their mobile and threatened the victim of uploading the MMS on the internet.
Juni Indore town inspector T S Baghel said that the accused have been identified as Arpit Agarwal, Rajesh Vishwakarma and Sudhir Sharma. Beghel further said the victim, a resident of Palsikar Colony, had gone to purchase something on Thursday afternoon when one of the accused Arpit, whom she knew, approached her.
Arpit allegedly took the victim to a car where Rajesh and Sudhir were already waiting for them. Subsequently, they forced the girl into the car.
In her complaint, the girl has mentioned that the accused beat her when she tried to shout for help. Within few minutes, they reached a deserted place in Piplihana where they reportedly locked the girl inside a house and took turns to rape her repeatedly, Baghel said.
The accused allegedly prepared an MMS of the incident and threatened the victim that they would upload it, if she did not respond to their advances further. They also threatened her of dire consequence, if she informed anybody about the incident.
Baghel said the accused dropped the victim in her locality at around 10.30 pm. The victim narrated the incident to her family members upon reaching her home, following which they reached Juni Indore police station and lodged a complaint.
The victim's mother is in coma for the last two years after having met a road accident. Meanwhile, the victim informed the police that Arpit used to provide stationery to schools in the city. He had been harassing her earlier as well after she refused to respond to his advances.
The police have booked all the three accused under sections 366 (abduction), 376 2G (gang rape), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 294 (obscene acts), 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of Indian Penal Code ( IPC).
