Two Arrested for Sextorting 14-Year-Old Girl for Over a Year A 14-year-old girl in Nagpur has been the victim of a prolonged sextortion scheme, with two individuals arrested after a year of coercive behavior. According to police, the accused allegedly targeted the minor by demanding financial payments and threatening to expose intimate content unless she complied. Whenever the girl failed to pay promptly, the perpetrators reportedly lured her to secluded locations and pressured her for physical interactions. The family became aware of the situation after noticing frequent unexplained cash shortages from their home. The parents, growing suspicious, eventually approached the authorities. During the investigation, police conducted counseling sessions with the teenager, during which she disclosed the details of her ordeal. These sessions led to the identification and arrest of both suspects. Senior Inspector Anamika Mirzapure of the Hudkeshwar police station, overseeing the case, highlighted the possibility of a broader network exploiting vulnerable minors through online platforms. The accused have been charged under stringent sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses (Pocso) Act, the Information Technology Act, and various provisions of the Bharat Naurang Sabha (BNS) related to extortion, criminal intimidation, and sexual exploitation of a minor. The case underscores the dangers of online predation and the importance of vigilance among families. Authorities are now probing whether the incident is part of a larger pattern of exploitation, emphasizing the need for stricter enforcement of laws protecting minors. The arrests have provided some closure for the victim’s family, though the emotional and psychological impact of the ordeal remains significant.#nagpur #pocso_act #hudkeshwar_police_station #anamika_mirzapure #bharat_naurang_sabha
