Bareilly teen’s death after viral cafe video: Man arrested for circulating clip

Police said three men had arrived at the cafe, confronted the boys and recorded a video which was subsequently circulated.

The girl’s elder brother, however, had alleged that the teenage boys had gangraped her and threatened her with serious consequences if she disclosed the incident. He alleged that his sister was introduced to one of the minors by a woman doctor at the clinic, where she worked.

On the basis of his complaint, police registered an FIR against eight people, including the two minors, police said. The two minors were also detained.

Police said they had recovered two videos — one showed the girl sitting at the café with the two boys, while the other showed three men confronting and questioning the boys. Police said neither video showed assault.

According to police, the girl returned home after the incident and told her mother about it. The family then decided to approach the police and lodge a complaint the following morning.

The FIR names three minors who allegedly accompanied the girl to the café, three men accused of recording and circulating the video, the café owner, who has not been identified, and the doctor at whose clinic the girl worked.

Police are looking for the remaining two persons who accompanied Rathore to the café.
