A minor boy has been apprehended by the police here for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl, recording her obscene video, and using it to blackmail her, police said on Monday.
The suspect was apprehended following a complaint filed by the girl’s mother on Sunday, the police said.
The accused, who was senior to the class 11 girl at a private academy, had sent her a friend request on Snapchat on October 23 last year, following which they started communicating.
The accused allegedly often met the girl near the academy and also asked her for money.
On December 15 last year, the accused allegedly took the girl on his motorcycle to a house, claiming it belonged to his grandmother, where he allegedly raped her.
He allegedly also recorded an objectionable video of the girl and threatened to make it viral if she reported the matter.
The girl recently sounded her mother following which a complaint was registered.
