The incident occurred when the couple was returning home from work on September 15. A group of six/seven men had accosted them and made an attempt to rape her after taking her husband hostage in an area under Gamariah police station.
As the men failed to commit the crime after the woman started screaming, they took her to a nearby bush where they forced her to pose for obscene photographs in a video.
The men had threatened the couple to make the video viral on the social media if they approached the police. When the incident came to the notice of the villagers, the village chief approached the Gamariah police station and lodged an FIR on Sunday, the police said.
On the basis of the statement of the victim, police have identified one accused Ujjwal Mahato who was named in the FIR. The police have launched a hunt to apprehend the culprits who are absconding.
In another incident, last week, a 15-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself to a ceiling fan at her residence in outer Delhi's Sultanpuri area, with the police saying Saturday that she killed herself as she was being constantly "harassed" by a man on way to her school and tuition classes.
The girl died on September 19, they said, adding that a case was registered Saturday on the basis of a complaint filed by her parents. In his complaint, the girl's father has alleged that his daughter was being "mentally harassed" by a local man who was apparently married. Her father has also alleged that the accused used to frequently "harass" her on way to school and tuition classes, police said.
