The suspects were identified as Bhupendra (25), and Bhagat alias Kallu (26), both residents of Kasna village. The girl’s father works at a brick kiln in Greater Noida.

Sudhir Kumar, station house officer of Kasna police station, said on August 8, the two suspects kidnapped the girl and took her to an isolated place. “They offered her cold drinks laced with sedatives and raped her when she lost consciousness. They also recorded a video of the assault and threatened to make the video viral on social media platforms if she disclosed about the incident to her family or police,” said Kumar.

Police said the girl was scared and did not reveal anything to her family members for a few days. “On September 28, the girl complained of pain in her abdomen. When her parents took her to a hospital, the doctors said she was pregnant. Following this, the girl narrated the incident to her family who then filed a case against the suspects.

“The two suspects were on the run since the incident. On Thursday, they were arrested from near Sirsa roundabout. They were produced before a court and sent to judicial custody,” said the SHO.
