Emotional Blackmail and Rape: A Horrifying Account by a 17-Year-Old Victim
A 17-year-old schoolgirl was raped by two MNC employees after being emotionally blackmailed and manipulated into physical contact. The girl had befriended one of the accused, Naveen Singh Khetwal, on Facebook in September 2011, and he introduced her to his cousin, Rajesh. The accused would emotionally support the girl, but suddenly stopped contacting her, creating a vacuum in her life. The girl, unaware of her victimization, continued to pursue Naveen, who rebuffed her.
