Vijay Upadhyay
Etah. The flurry of obscene multimedia messages that has hit the country's metros in the last one year is now showing up in small towns as well.
One such incident came to light in Etah on Friday, where a girl committed suicide after being raped along with her school friend, by three acquaintances. The three also made video clippings of both the girls while they were being gang-raped, after inviting them to a "birthday party".
The Etah Police has registered a case against the three youngsters almost a week after the incident and is now searching for the video clip that was reportedly prepared by the rapists during the act, to use it as evidence against the youth.
Speaking to The Pioneer, Inspector Ashok Kumar Shukla, police station in-charge, Kasganj Kotwali, said that Upasna, the daughter of a local trader Pradeep Kumar Maheshwari, had been invited by her family acquaintance Shashikant to join a birthday party of his friend Neeraj on September 30.
While going with Shashikant, Upasna took along her school friend to the birthday party at Neeraj's house in Gangeshwar Colony of Kasganj. From here they were taken to an empty house nearby and repeatedly raped for more than four hours by Shashikant, Neeraj and another youth, Rishi Gupta, who also prepared video clips of this heinous act, though it was not clear whether a mobile was used in the act or a video camera.
He said on returning home after this incident, the two girls chose to remain silent, as the boys had threatened to circulate the MMS if they revealed their identity. A few hours after coming home, Upasna committed suicide by severing her wrists to avoid bringing bad name to her family. Her parents cremated her body without informing the police.
It was only after some details of the incident leaked out from the other girl's house that Upasna's father Pradeep Maheshwari finally gathered courage to file a complaint against the three youth on Friday, accusing them of raping his daughter.
According to Inspector Shukla, the police had filed an FIR against all three youth under sections 376 and 306 and was searching for the video clipping as it could form credible evidence against them.
Meanwhile, The Pioneer spoke to Radha Devi, mother of the "birthday boy" Neeraj, who claimed that the she was not familiar with the two girls. He claimed the girls had not stayed for more than a few minutes at his house and that they left with the other boys, after partying briefly. What happened after that, she was completely unaware, though she could not come to believe that her son could have participated in such a monstrous act.
