Muzaffarnagar, Feb 27: A 16-year-old minor was allegedly raped in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar on Monday. The victim's kin have filed an FIR at the Civil Lines police station. The complainants allege the obscene act was filmed by the accused's sister in order to blackmail the victim.

Station house Officer D K Tyagi said the police is awaiting the medical report of the girl. The accused, identified as a 22-year-old youth, along with sister Samreen (name changed), were untraceable after the complaint was registered against them.

Tyagi, while speaking to reporters, said the allegation levelled against the 22-year-old could be a result of counter-charges levelled by two women against each other.

The two women - Ruksana (name changed), 25 and Samreen, 28 - were living together till a month ago before they had a fallout. Ruksana filed a case against Samreen of theft. Days later, the latter filed a case against Ruksana's family of attempt to rape.

Ruksana on Monday approached the police, claiming her 16-year-old niece was raped by Samreen's brother, while she recorded the act on camera. Ruksana further claimed that Samreen's family attempted to force her niece into prostitution.
