UP: Doctor's minor daughter raped by Instagram friend at hookah bar
Kanpur/IBNS: A man in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur was arrested for allegedly raping a minor girl after spiking her cold drink at a hookah bar.
The 16-year-old girl, who is the daughter of a doctor couple, got connected with the accused on the social media platform Instagram.
The girl's father has filed an FIR against the man, identified as Vinay Thakur, who is also from Kanpur. Seven others were also named in the FIR.
Vinay Thakur called the girl to MG Cafe in Karrahi on March 4, where they smoked hookah, the father complained.
According to the FIR, Vinay slipped some sedative in the girl's drink, then took her out, and raped her.
He then took the girl to another deserted place where seven of his friends joined him, and they tried to gang-rape the girl, the complaint added.
When the girl resisted the assault, the accused bit her all over her body.
The father reached the police station to file a complaint after the girl managed to get home and narrate her ordeal. The police are now investigating the matter.
According to local media reports, the accused thrashed and scratched her, leaving scars on her cheek and forehead, when she resisted.
The girl also reportedly informed her father that Vinay's Instagram friend had made an obscene video of her and was blackmailing her for the past few days.
She said the accused was threatening to make the video viral.
