Rajasthan police on Friday filed a case against the son of a Congress MLA and four others for alleged gang-rape of a 15-year-old girl at Samleti in Dausa district. Police said Deepak Meena, son of Congress MLA Johari Lal Meena from Rajgarh assembly constituency in Alwar district, is a key accused in the case.
According to police, the incident happened in February when the accused took the girl to a hotel on Mahwa-Mandawar Road and committed the crime.
The accused gang-raped the girl, video-graphed the crime and later extorted a sum of Rs 15 lakh and jewellery items from the victim by threatening her to upload the video on social media, they said.
The matter came to light during a probe into a theft complaint lodged by the girl's family after the cash and jewellery found missing from their house.
Police said medical examination of the victim has been done and her statement recorded.
Meanwhile, the National Commission for Women has asked the Rajasthan Police to ensure fair probe in the case. In a letter to Rajasthan Director General of Police M L Lather, NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma sought protection and counselling for the victim and arrest of all accused at the earliest.
The Commission has also directed the DGP to send a detailed information about the measures taken by the Rajasthan Police to curb such crimes.
