NEW DELHI: A private school cab driver and his friend were arrested for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl over the last one year in Malviya Nagar in south Delhi. Accused Kaku and his friend Rohan had allegedly filmed the act on their cellphones, said a police officer. 

The victim, a Class IX student, said the accused also threatened to upload the MMS clip on video sharing websites and kill her family if she revealed the incident to anyone. The cab, police said, belongs to a person in Malviya Nagar and was used for ferrying schoolchildren. 

The incident came to light on February 26 when the girl's mother spotted Kaku misbehaving with her daughter. She raised an alarm and informed the police who nabbed Kaku from the spot. His friend Rohan, who was waiting in a cab under her building, was also arrested. 

The cops first booked the two for molestation and under Prevention of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Later, at home, the girl broke down and told her parents that Kaku had first raped her in October last year. After dropping other children on the way back from school, he had taken the cab to an isolated place. He had threatened her with a knife and raped her. Later, Rohan also raped her and blackmailed her with the MMS clip, she alleged. 

The victim, out of fear, initially kept mum but later got depressed when they were not letting her go. She made some excuse and changed the cab, but the accused kept harassing her to meet them. On February 4, she was again raped by Rohan who blackmailed her into coming with him, she said. 

The shocked family again approached the police with the entire story. The cops added the sections of rape, criminal intimidation and relevant sections of POCSO Act.
