A 15-year-old NEET aspirant studying in Kota, Rajasthan, was allegedly raped on several occasions since February by a canteen worker at her hostel.

Based on the complaint filed by the victim, the police arrested the accused canteen worker and the hostel owner on Friday.

As per reports, the girl was staying in a hostel with her sister and was preparing for her medical entrance examinations, and the accused used to deliver her food daily.

As per police, the incident first took place in February this year when the accused forcibly made her consume alcohol, took her to the premises of another hostel in the area, and raped her.

The accused raped the girl six more times on several occasions and blackmailed her for circulating the pictures he had taken on social media.

“The girl initially complained to her hostel owner a few days ago, urging him to take action against the canteen worker, but he refused and instead said that he would get her married off to the accused as the “incident would tarnish the image of the girl if her family gets to know”, Superintendent of Police (SP) Sharad Chaudhary said.

“The hostel owner also threatened her not to share the matter with anyone. Following the incident, the girl reached the police station on October 10 and lodged the complaint against both,” added SP Chaudhary.

A case has been registered against the accused and the hostel owner under sections 376- 2 n

(commits rape repeatedly on same women), 363 (abducting someone from lawful guardianship), 366 A (forcing a minor girl to illicit intercourse with any person), 368 (wrongful confinement), 504 (intentional insult to provoke anyone), 506 (criminal intimidation), 341 (wrongfully restrain), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 120 B (party to a criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code, relevant sections of POCSO Act, section 84 (abduction) of Juvenile Justice Act, and 66 E (violation of privacy) of IT Act.
