Chhattisgarh Shocker: Boyfriend Raped Minor on Marriage Promise, Leaked Private Videos When She Protested

 In a disturbing case that has come to light from Surguja district, a 24-year-old man allegedly raped a minor student after promising to marry her, then married another woman. When the survivor objected, the accused leaked her private photos and videos on social media and began blackmailing her to force physical relations again.

The entire incident falls under the Gandhi Nagar police station limits in Ambikapur city. Police have arrested the accused and registered charges under the POCSO Act and IT Act. The survivor, a minor, filed a complaint after weeks of harassment.

Friendship Started at a Wedding Function

According to the complaint filed by the survivor, she first met the accused – identified as Anoj Das (24), a resident of Salka Patratoli village – during a wedding ceremony. What began as an exchange of mobile numbers slowly turned into casual conversations and eventually took the shape of a romantic relationship.

Over time, Anoj started calling her to his rented accommodation in the Pataparia area of Ambikapur. Sources familiar with the matter said the accused allegedly raped her multiple times on the promise of marriage. During this period, he secretly recorded intimate videos and clicked photographs of the minor without her knowledge or consent.

The Turning Point: A Second Marriage

The situation took a violent turn when Anoj married another woman without informing the survivor. Local authorities confirmed that when the minor student confronted him and opposed the marriage, the accused's behaviour changed drastically.

Initially, he tried to intimidate her. When she did not back down, Anoj allegedly uploaded her private photos and videos on social media platforms and made them viral. Officials said the accused deliberately used this as a tool to silence her.

Blackmail and Pressure to Resume Relationship

Things escalated quickly after that. The survivor told police that Anoj began blackmailing her using the viral videos and started pressuring her to resume physical relations with him. The constant fear of more private content being circulated online, combined with repeated threats, left the minor severely distressed.

Unable to handle the pressure anymore, the student approached Latoti police outpost and lodged a formal complaint. According to officials, the case was immediately transferred to Gandhi Nagar police station due to the seriousness of the charges.

Case Under POCSO and IT Act

Police have registered a case under multiple legal provisions. These include BNS sections 65(1)A and 64(2), IT Act section 67(B), and section 6 of the POCSO Act. The POCSO sections were invoked because the survivor is a minor.

A police officer familiar with the investigation said, "Section 67(B) of the IT Act specifically deals with publishing or transmitting obscene material depicting children. The accused has clearly violated this."

Accused Arrested, Sent to Jail

Acting on the complaint, police arrested Anoj Das on Sunday from his native village Salka Patratoli, which comes under Darima police station limits. Gandhi Nagam police station in-charge Praveen Kumar Dwivedi confirmed that the accused has confessed to his crime during preliminary interrogation.

Sources indicated that Anoj may have been involved in similar cases earlier as well, though officials are currently verifying those details. The accused was produced before a local court and has been sent to judicial custody. Further investigation is underway.
