13-year-old Dalit girl allegedly raped, filmed by accused in UP village

In a horrific incident in a village under the Bazar Shukul police station area, a 13-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly raped by a man from her village, who also filmed the assault, police reported on Sunday, September 7, 2025. The accused, now in custody and under interrogation, faces serious charges following the crime that has sparked outrage.
According to police, the incident occurred on Friday evening when the accused lured the girl out of her home and assaulted her. He recorded the act and threatened to upload the video online and kill her if she disclosed the incident to anyone. Despite the threats, the traumatized girl confided in her mother upon returning home. Her father promptly lodged a complaint at the Bazar Shukul police station on Saturday, detailing the harrowing ordeal.
Station Officer Abhinesh Kumar confirmed that a case has been registered against the accused under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The police are conducting a thorough investigation to ensure justice for the victim.
The case highlights the persistent issue of violence against marginalized communities, particularly Dalit girls, in rural India. Authorities are under pressure to act swiftly, as the incident underscores the urgent need for stronger measures to protect vulnerable children and enforce stringent penalties for such heinous crimes.
