Ayodhya (UP), Aug 1 (Reporter) Two persons, including a Samajwadi Party (SP) leader, accused of gang rape were arrested by the police in Ayodhya district here in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday, police sources said here. Police sources said that Moid Khan, the president of Bhadarsa town president of SP, and one of his employee, who are accused of gang raping a 12-year-old girl, have been arrested by the Ayodhya police. "The crime came to light when the victim's family discovered that she was pregnant after which they filed a report, prompting immediate action from the police," they said. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Raj Karan Nayyar said that SP leader Moid Khan initially raped the girl and made a video. "Khan continued to sexually abuse the victim for two and a half months, using the video to intimidate and threaten her. Khan committed these acts with the assistance of Raju Khan, an employee at his bakery," he said. He said that the incident, which occurred in Bhadarsa town within the jurisdiction of the Purakalandar police station, came to fore when the girl's family sought medical help due to her abdominal pain, leading to the confirmation of her pregnancy. "Following the family's complaint, the police have filed a report against the accused under the Pocso Act. Both Moid Khan and Raju Khan have been arrested and sent to jail," he said. Nayyar said that the victim's father passed away two years ago, leaving her family to be supported solely by the earnings of her mother and sisters. "It has been alleged that about two and a half months ago, Raju Khan told the victim that Moid Khan was calling her," he said. He said that it has been alleged that when the victim reached the spot, Moid Khan sexually assaulted her and Raju recorded the incident on his mobile phone. After this Raju also raped her. This pattern of abuse continued, with both men repeatedly assaulting the teenage victim. A video of Moid Khan is now circulating on social media, he said.
