Two minor girls were allegedly gang-raped by seven accused in a forest in Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district.
According to the police, the incident occurred under Hanumana police station limits in Rewa district around three weeks ago.
The accused had shot a video of the crime and made it viral due to which the matter came to light.
"A minor girl along with her cousin sister had gone to the forest to graze goats. During this, there were some boys of the same village who were roaming in the forest and they raped both the girls," Rewa Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Anil Sonkar said.
"After that, the accused had threatened the victims that they had made a video of the incident and would make the video viral if they dare to tell anything to anyone. As a result of which the victims did not register a complaint out of fear in the matter," the officer said.
"After the video of the incident went viral, the Hanumana police investigated, reached out to the victims and talked to them. The victims accepted that such an incident occurred after that a case was registered into the matter. It was also found that seven accused had raped the girls on incident day, out of which the police arrested five accused and two escaped," Additional SP said.
