A 17-year-old girl has allegedly been raped two times by the same attackers after police in west India used her as bait to help catch the culprits.
Inefficiency on the path of policemen in West India has caused a 17-year old girl to be raped two times consecutively by the same attackers after they used her as a bait to lure the rapists.
The rapists which were two men in their 20's threatened the young girl with a knife and coerced her into having sex with them. The issue was reported to the police and a plot to catch them was devised by the police officers in Jalna, Maharashtra state. She was instructed to honour her meeting with the attackers the next day. The rapists were allegedly blackmailing her with a filmed clip of the rape incident. They demanded for money in exchange for the video.
The first attack was said to have taken place on July 7th, when the two men accosted the young girl while she was out walking with her boyfriend. They took her into the forest and raped her
Unfortunately for the teenager, the policemen didn't follow her close enough which led to her being raped a second time by the perpetrators.
Police claim the teenager had not told them about meeting the accused, but a Maharashtra police spokesperson admitted to NDTV that ‘it is wrong to use a minor as a bait’.
The alleged rapists were arrested a few hours later at a railway station, and the police officer in charge of the ‘bait’ operation has been suspended.
