A 16 year old girl was allegedly raped on Sunday in a tribal dominated village and made to walk around with the accused. A disturbing video shows us the victim and the accused tied with ropes and people marching around them, chanting slogans like "Bharat Mata Ki Jai"(Long Live Mother India).

The video clip triggered shock and outrage among people. The cops, as soon as they discovered the clip, arrested six people including the accused.

Reportedly, the family members, with others, forced the girl to parade with her attacker to shame the girl. The local police came to the rescue of the girl while they were being paraded. As reported by Police Officer Dilip Singh Bilwal, two cases have been filed.

"One of the cases was filed against the 21-year-old man who is accused of rape. Another FIR (first information report) was filed against family members of the girl and villagers for parading her in the village and beating her," Bilwal said to PTI.

One of the cases were filed under Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the other was under the provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
