KOLKATA - Three people were arrested early Sunday from West Bengal’s Howrah district after a 17-year-old girl accused the trio of raping her and circulating obscene video clippings involving her on mobile phones, police said.
The girl had accused Papai alias Chiranjeet, Mithun and Sanjay of raping her and circulating the footage via MMS. The girl alleged that last year Chiranjeet called her to his house and gave her water laced with sedatives. After the girl went unconscious, the trio raped her and recorded her obscene video clippings on their mobile, said Sumanjit Ray, additional superintendent, Howrah (town).

“We have arrested the trio and produced them in court. It’s true that it has been circulated but it’s not yet proved whether it has been circulated via MMS or some other method,” Ray told IANS.
