Bhopal Minor Rape Case: CDR Confirms Maj and Osaf Were Together During Crime; Harassment Evidence Found
In a major breakthrough in the Khanugang area gangrape case, where an 11th-grade minor girl was abducted and sexually assaulted in a Thar SUV, the police have gathered concrete evidence against the accused, Mohammed Maj Khan and Osaf Ali Khan. On Thursday, the police took accused Maj to the crime scene for spot verification, where he confessed to his involvement. The Call Detail Record (CDR) analysis has now opened a new chapter in the investigation.
CDR Analysis Confirms Presence
According to the CDR obtained by the police, the mobile locations of both accused, Maj and Osaf, were found together at the same spot in Khanugang at the time of the incident. This confirms that both were present during the crime, contradicting their initial claims of being elsewhere.
Furthermore, the investigation has revealed that accused Maj had sent obscene messages to the victim and had also harassed her. Although Maj denied the harassment charges during police remand, digital evidence has proven him wrong.
Arms Act Charges Added
During the investigation, it was discovered that Osaf Ali Khan always kept a knife in his car. The police have recovered this weapon. Following this recovery, charges under the Arms Act have been added against the accused. The police are now investigating whether the accused threatened to kill the victim.
Maj's Confession: "I Only Made the Video"
During interrogation, accused Maj Khan told the police that he did not harass the victim but only secretly made a private video of her. Maj also admitted that he had planned the entire act in advance. He stood outside the car and filmed the act between Osaf and the girl through the window.
Maj stated, "I had planned it beforehand. I stood outside the car, peered through the glass, and secretly shot the video. We shared the video among ourselves."
Shocking Revelations of Blackmail
The accused repeatedly forced the victim to engage in physical relations. Whenever the girl resisted, they threatened to make the video viral. Using this threat, the accused also extorted Rs 40,000 from the minor girl.
Rape Committed in Four Different Cars
The investigation has revealed that the accused raped the victim at different times in four different luxury cars. Following Maj's disclosure, the police have recovered the Thar and three other cars from a village in the Sehore district. Maj used all four cars, and the crime was committed at different locations each time.
Head Constable Suspended for Leaking Information
Negligence within the police department has also come to light in this case. Head Constable Gyanendra Dwivedi, posted at the Kohefiza police station, has been suspended. He is accused of having lunch with accused Maj at a hotel and leaking confidential departmental information, which delayed Maj's arrest. During interrogation, Maj revealed that Dwivedi was paid Rs 50,000 for this favor.
SIT to Probe the 'Crorepati' Mystery
23-year-old Maj Khan runs a prestigious gym and claims to be a partner in several construction sites. His brother Monis is out on bail in an MD drug trafficking case. The police suspect foul play regarding how these two brothers became millionaires in just 8-10 years. The SIT will now investigate this mystery. Monis used to be a modest home tutor just 10-12 years ago.
Formation of SIT
Given the seriousness of the case, a four-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been formed. The team will be led by TT Nagar ACP Ankita Khatarkar. The SIT will investigate:
- Whether the accused targeted other young women as well.
- How the victim came into contact with the accused.
- Who else is involved in making the video and blackmailing.
- Whether there was any pressure for religious conversion.
The Case So Far
