A 15-year-old boy has been detained for allegedly killing a 50-year-old man who had raped him multiple times in a village in Muzaffarnagar. The body of the man was reportedly found in his home on May 20 and the teenager was detained on Saturday following a police probe. He was sent to a juvenile facility. 

The teenager has been reportedly charged  with murder after the man's family filed a police report. “Weeks ago, the deceased had sodomised the minor and recorded an obscene video clip," Superintendent of Police (Rural) Aditya Bansal was quoted as saying by news agency IANS. 

The boy claimed that the victim who had repeatedly sexually harassed him, was blackmailing him. “On Monday, the man forced the boy to come to his home after threatening to upload his video online. As he was being harassed, the boy picked up a sharp object lying next to him and attacked the man's head and throat," the SP said.

In another incident that took place recently in Madhya Pradesh, a former mill worker has been arrested for raping at least seven tribal college students using a voice-morphing app. The accused identified as Brajesh Kushwaha is an illiterate who used technology to commit a series of crimes. Kushwaha contacted students from the Sidhi district by posing as a female college teacher, promising to help them secure scholarships.

Earlier in May this year, a pregnant woman was raped and murdered in Dausa’s Nandri village. Following massive outrage over the incident, the villagers vandalised and set the houses of the accused and his relatives on fire. Attempts were also made to burn the family members of the accused alive. The enraged villagers did not even spare the police officials who reached the spot and started pelting stones at them and also vandalised their vehicles.
