Raped teen kills self after dirty clip threat

MUMBAI, April 24, 2013 [TOI] --- A teenager torched herself and succumbed to her injuries recently when her uncle, who had raped her after spiking her drink, turned her away when she became pregnant and threatened to make public an obscene mobile clip he had apparently shot of her. The uncle, charged with abetment of suicide, is on the run. The 19-year-old victim, who passed away on Saturday after suffering over 80% burns, was a college student and stayed with her parents and sister at Nalasopara (East). Her paternal uncle, Mohammed Sultan alias Raja, 27, also lived with his family in the neighbourhood. On February 14, the girl was alone at home when her father went to work because her mother and sister were out of town. Sultan came to her house, offered her the spiked soft drink and raped her. On April 15, she learnt she was pregnant and confided in her mother. The two confronted Sultan, who turned them away. A day later, Sultan called and told the teen he would circulate the obscene clip if she spoke about the rape to anyone. "The victim did not confide in her mother this time. Next day, she stepped into the bathroom, poured kerosene on herself and struck a match," said a cop. She succumbed to her injuries four days later in hospital. "We were informed a few hours before her death. Our personnel visited her at the hospital and recorded her statement," said a senior police official. Besides abetment, Sultan has been booked for rape, criminal intimidation and poisoning. His family is being quizzed about his whereabouts.
