Hunt on for two youths who raped two 16-year-olds in Mohali
Mohali Two minor girls were raped in separate incidents in Zirakpur and Dera Bassi.
Hunt is on for both accused, a 25-year-old and a 21-year-old, who sexually assaulted the two girls, both aged 16, said police.
The 25-year-old man has been identified as Sanjay Munjal, who befriended the girl and took her to Divine Apartments in Zirakpur, where he raped her on August 27.
The girl told the police that she somehow managed to lock herself in a toilet and shared her mobile phone’s location with her relatives, who rescued her. On spotting her relatives, the accused escaped from the apartment.
Investigating officer from Zirakpur police station Nirmal Kaur said Munjal had been booked under Sections 376 (rape), 323 (assault), 342 (wrongful confinement) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and Section 4 (penetrative sexual assault ) of the POSCO Act.
The 21-year-old youth had recorded an objectionable video of the 16-year-old victim while raping her in July last year, and had been blackmailing her ever since, said police.
The matter came to light when the victim expressed reluctance in going to school.
On being persuaded, she told her parents that the accused, Ajay, who lived in their neighbourhood in Dera Bassi, broke into their house in July last year and raped her.
Since then, he had been intercepting her on the way to school and threatening to circulate the objectionable video online.
A case under Sections 376, 341 (wrongful restraint), 450 (house trespass) and 506 of the IPC and Section 4 of the POSCO Act has registered against Ajay.
