Bengaluru: A 16-year-old girl in Bengaluru was allegedly blackmailed and gang-raped by a group of men. Police have arrested seven persons involved in the incident, an IANS report said quoting official sources.
The crime happened in the Yelahanka police station limits in Bengaluru.
As per the report, the unnamed main accused in the case had earlier sexually assaulted the girl and had recorded the act. The same video was used to blackmail the victim. He had also threatened to kill the victim if she revealed the assault to anyone.
The video was also shared with the friends of the main accused, police said.
Blackmailing the girl again that the video would be made viral on social media, the main accused along with his seven friends gang-raped her, IANS reported the police as saying.
The incident has come to light after the parents of the victim persuaded her to reveal what happened to her as she came home crying. The mother of the victim then lodged a complaint with Yelahanka police on April 5, the report added.
