Lucknow, Nov. 10 -- In a shocking incident, a 15-year-old girl was first raped in Siddharthnagar where her friend recorded her video and thereafter eight other people repeatedly sexually exploited her over a period of seven months by blackmailing her on the basis of the same video, police officials said on Sunday. A police official said a young man first befriended the girl, gave her an intoxicating substance, and sexually assaulted her. "He also recorded an obscene video of the act and shared it with more than eight of his friends. Those friends then began blackmailing the victim and took turns raping her over a period of seven months. Whenever they wanted, the accused called the girl and exploited her," said the official. "Traumatised by the blackmail, the minor finally confided in her elder sister, who then informed the police." Siddarthnagar SP Abhishek Mahajan had earlier informed that the incident took place in a village under the Kapilvastu police station area. "During the investigation, the names of nine men surfaced. Police have arrested eight of them and sent them to jail, while the investigation is ongoing," he said....
