The accused was identified as Bittu. The minor girl’s mother, in her complaint, told the police that her daughter used to pay obeisance at the village temple every day.

“Two months ago, the temple priest raped my daughter and made an obscene video. He threatened to make the video of the act viral and continued to rape her. Three days ago, the priest had sent a man on a bike to our house asking my daughter to visit the temple. The man threatened my daughter and took her to the temple,” the victim’s mother added.

She said she followed the bike and reached the temple where the priest was waiting for her daughter. The woman said her daughter then narrated the ordeal and they approached the police.
