Teen Girls Abducted and Raped in India

In a separate incident in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior district, a 13-year-old girl was abducted and raped in a moving car by three men she befriended on social media. Two of the accused have been arrested, and a search is underway for the third. The perpetrators recorded the assault and attempted to blackmail the victim with the video, which was later circulated when she resisted. In Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, a 16-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly raped by two men from another community; one of the accused has been arrested while efforts are ongoing to apprehend the second individual. These incidents highlight the ongoing issue of sexual violence and the exploitation of minors through social media platforms.
