Ludhiana, Jan 13: The Ludhiana police has arrested a woman tutor and her two brothers on charge of sexually exploiting a minor boy and filming their sexcapades.

The trio was trying to flee to New Delhi and was at the Ludhiana bus terminus when the police arrested them on Sunday. They were produced in the court, which remanded them in the police custody for two days.

 

Accused Radha (33), Raghav (28) and Madhav (24) had been absconding since October 2014 after committing the crime. The police on October 19 had booked Radha and her brothers 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 Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012.
 
The complainant’s father had told the police that he was a tenant of Radha, who also took tuition classes for his 14-year-old son. One day the boy confided in his father about the entire episode after developing severe stomach ache.

The boy also gave his father the pendrive, which had explicit video content showing intercourse between him and the woman tutor.

The accused woman tutor, according to the boy, sexually exploited him for over a year till October 2014. The police said the accused raped him at knife point whenever he refused to succumb to her demand.

"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," the minor boy’s father alleged in his complaint to the police.

However, the police didn’t take any action against the accused in the matter. They swung into action only after local NGO Bachpan informed the National Child Rights Commission about the police inaction.

The police was forced to book the women and her brothers on October 19. They raided Radha’s house and seized threat letters written to the boy, asking him not to divulge the truth to anybody.

The police also recovered a laptop that contained sexually explicit video content. The video footage, the police said, revealed the sexual exploitation of the minor boy and the woman indulging in incest with her brothers.

The police had also seized sedatives, sex toys and a knife from the accused.
