A 42-year-old woman was arrested for sexually assaulting and threatening a minor girl in Delhi. An FIR has been registered in the case and the accused was produced before a court, sending her to 14 days of judicial custody.
According to the complaint, the accused who runs the NGO was one of her mother’s friends. She was sent to the accused’s house to learn a course, six months ago. When her mother came to take her back, the accused allegedly threatened to kill her if she left.
“The accused woman then started sexually abusing her and also assaulted her. The accused also recorded her obscene video and threatened that she would upload her video on social media if she left her house. The accused woman also asked her to do house chores and could never speak with her mother,” the FIR read.
A few days ago, the victim was not feeling well and was taken to a nearby hospital. She escaped and informed her mother about her ordeal, who informed the police.
On Saturday night, a Delhi BJP spokesperson who shared a copy of the FIR on social media was reminded by the police that it was “illegal to share details of victims of sexual offenses”.
