A woman tutor and her two brothers were detained on charge of sexually exploiting a minor boy and filming their sexcapades.
According to Ludhiana police, the accused Radha (33), Raghav (28) and Madhav (24) was trying to flee to New Delhi when the police arrested them on Sunday at the Ludhiana bus terminus.
The complainant’s father was a tenant of Radha, who also took tuition classes for his 14-year-old son. They were remanded in the police custody for two days after the court order.
According to the boy, Radha sexually exploited the minor for over a year and raped him at knife point whenever he declined her demand.
After developing severe stomach ache, the boy disclosed the entire episode to his father and also gave the pen drive which had explicit video content showing intercourse between him and the woman tutor.
The boy’s father in his complaint alleged that, “She would force him to consume liquor and threatened him with dire consequences whenever he refused her demand. She also shot sexually explicit videos with the help of her brothers. Radha had threatened him that she would implicate me in a rape case if he revealed the truth to anybody”.
After local NGO Bachpan informed the National Child Rights Commission about the police inaction, on October 19, police booked them under sections 294 of IPC (obscene acts or words in public), 506 (criminal intimidation), 34 (acts done in furtherance of common intention) and sections 3, 4, 5 (L), 14, 15, 16 and 17 of the POCSOA, 2012.
