A constable and another man have been arrested for allegedly raping a minor who was already a victim of rape, the Bengaluru police said on Monday.
The police have arrested Arun Thonepa, who was attached to the Bommanahalli police station, and a man named Vivek alias Vicky.
Vicky befriended the minor, lured her promising marriage and allegedly assaulted her sexually multiple times. He was already married.
According to the victim’s mother, she met Arun when she went to the Bommanahalli police station to file a complaint. “Arun, who was on duty, received the complaint and assured them he would provide justice. He also promised to provide a job to the victim. In December last year, he allegedly made the victim consume alcohol in a lodge and raped her. He recorded a video of the incident and blackmailed the victim with threats of leaking it,” a police officer said, quoting the complaint.
