Minor Blackmailed with Clips in Mumbai; Three Arrested

Samta Nagar police arrested three men for allegedly raping and exploiting a 14-year-old girl, while two other accused remain on the run.

The arrested suspects allegedly recorded obscene videos of the Hanuman Nagar resident and repeatedly threatened to leak the clips online to continue their abuse.

Following intense protests by Bajrang Dal activists, local police swiftly registered a formal case under the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

During initial raids, officers seized mobile phones from the suspects and recovered more than 15 objectionable videos featuring multiple minor girls.

This alarming discovery has prompted investigators to widen their probe and determine whether the gang targeted other young victims across the locality.

Forensic teams are currently examining the seized footage to establish the identities of the other girls and uncover the full scale of the crime.

Detectives are also investigating whether these five identified suspects operate as part of a larger, organised exploitation racket in the city.

Special police teams are actively conducting searches across Mumbai to trace and apprehend the two absconding suspects as soon as possible.

The incident has sparked widespread outrage and raised serious concerns regarding the safety of minor girls in Mumbai’s suburban neighbourhoods.

Senior officials confirmed that further investigation is underway to ensure strict legal action against all perpetrators and provide necessary support to the victims.
