The family of a 14-year-old victim of sexual exploitation, on Tuesday, alleged that they were being threatened by the main accused Radha, who was the child’s tutor, and that the police was hands-in-glove with the accused.
Meanwhile, the police remand of the lady tutor and her two brothers accused of sexually exploiting the 14-year-old was extended for two more days on Tuesday. Reportedly, accused Radha had also written letters to the family and threatened to frame the victim’s father in a false rape case.
Later, volunteers of Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) reached the spot to help the family. “We are trying to shift them to a safe place,” said BBA volunteer Dinesh.
