The Madhya Pradesh Police have arrested two men in connection with the alleged rape of a minor girl inside four cars on various occasions and blackmailing her, officers said on Friday (February 13, 2026).
According to the police, a 17-year-old girl was allegedly raped by Ausaf Ali Khan (19 years old) on various occasions last year while his friend, Maaz Khan (21), recorded a video of the two, which the duo used to blackmail her to sexually assault her and extort money from her. A complaint regarding the assault was received at Kohefiza on January 2.
Shahjahanabad Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Anil Bajpai told The Hindu that the alleged assault took place between May and June last year after the prime accused, Ausaf, befriended the girl through mutual friends.
