Police in Rajasthan have registered a case against a Class 11 student for the alleged rape of a teenage girl and the subsequent online circulation of her photographs. The shocking incident, which has sent ripples through the local community, was reported in the Shivpura police station area.
Details of the Alleged Assault
According to the formal complaint lodged by the survivor's parents, the traumatic event took place approximately 15 to 20 days ago. The parents stated that the accused, who is a minor and a student of Class 11, lured the girl to a field within the jurisdiction of the Shivpura police station. It was there that he allegedly sexually assaulted her.
Digital Exploitation Adds to the Crime
In a disturbing turn that compounds the severity of the crime, the accused did not stop at the physical assault. The complaint further alleges that he took photographs of the survivor and proceeded to share them online. This act of digital exploitation has added a layer of immense psychological trauma for the victim and her family, turning a horrific private violation into a potential public spectacle.
The police, acting on the parents' complaint, have swiftly booked the minor student under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. The case highlights the grim intersection of physical sexual violence and digital crime, a growing concern in cases involving minors.
Investigation Underway and Legal Implications
Authorities have confirmed that a thorough investigation is now active. Given that both the accused and the survivor are minors, legal procedures are being handled with heightened sensitivity. The case underscores several critical issues:
- The vulnerability of minors to sexual violence in seemingly ordinary locations.
- The escalating use of technology to intimidate and exploit victims after an assault.
- The urgent need for awareness and vigilance among families and communities.
While the police have not disclosed further operational details to protect the investigation and the victim's identity, they have assured that the law will take its full course. The incident, reported on 15 December 2025, serves as a stark reminder of the challenges in combating crimes against children in the digital age.
