The suspects also circulated the video of the minor via MMS and CDs.

Patna chief judicial magistrate RK Yadav issued arrest warrants against the suspects on Wednesday, a day after women’s commission member Chandramukhi Devi spoke to the girl, a Class 11 student, and took her statement.

Based on Devi’s subsequent complaint to the state police chief, a case was registered at Patna’s sole women’s police station at Sultanganj around 11pm on Tuesday. According to the complaint, one of the suspects — who pretended to be in love with the girl —called her to a house in upscale Rajvanshi Nagar on June 14, where the others joined him in raping her and filming the act.
