A 15-year-old Indore girl was allegedly gang-raped by two minors, who were friends of her ex-boyfriend. They promised to help and fix the relationship with her ex-boyfriend. The girl was easily manipulated by their convincing approach and believed their false promises, she agreed to meet them at Kalka Mata Temple. Malharganj police detained both suspects, aged 16 and 17, on Wednesday night.

"There was a rift between the complainant and her former boyfriend, and they stopped talking six months ago. Recently, she was approached by one of the accused, who promised to fix her relations with her ex-boyfriend. Without any thought or doubt, she believed him. On Nov. 3, the accused messaged her to meet up at Kalka Mata Temple, saying he would arrange a meeting with him," said additional DCP Alok Sharma.

Accused took a video of her

When the girl arrived around 10 a.m., she found another youth with the boy who had invited her. "They took her to a room in Kaveri Nagar where they raped her," said Sharma. They also allegedly took a video of the sexual assault and threatened to make it viral if she dared to speak about it to anyone.

After this horrible incident, she stopped going to school. On Wednesday, she eventually confided in her mother, and the parents immediately took her to the local police station, where officers directed them to Malharganj police station.

Malharganj police registered a case of gang rape and detained the accused under BNS sections for kidnapping, raping a girl under 16 years of age, raping a woman incapable of giving consent, gang rape, and sections of the Pocso Act. Two teenage boys, aged 16 and 17, have been arrested for allegedly gang-raping a 15-year-old girl in Indore. This horrible incident took place on November 3rd.
