New Delhi, June 29: A 16-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a 68-year-old man while his son ended up recording the act on his phone suspecting that his father practised black magic, police here said on Thursday.
The incident came to light when the victim’s father approached the police on Tuesday and showed the video shot by the accused’s son, a senior police officer said.
According to police, the incident occurred at the accused’s house between April 20 and 30. The man had threatened the girl not to disclose the incident to anyone. The victim remained in fear until now and opened up only when the incident’s video was seen by her father.
The accused lived in the victim’s neighbourhood and often visited her family and accompanied them on religious trips, the girl’s father told the police.
On the day of the incident, he lured the girl when she was alone outside her house and took her to his house, the victim told the police.
The man then took her to a secluded corner and allegedly raped her, she added.
The accused’s 40-year-old son suspected his father practised black magic and secretly set up the phone in his room and ended up recording the rape incident. (PTI)
