Police in Assam’s Barpeta district have arrested a 20-year-old man for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl, secretly filming the act, and circulating the footage on social media. The accused, identified as Ariful Ali of Palhaji, was apprehended by Majdia police following a First Information Report (FIR) lodged by the victim's family at the Sarthebari police station. According to the complaint, Ali allegedly assaulted the minor and secretly recorded the act. The family stated that the resulting video, reportedly lasting one hour and 40 minutes, was later uploaded and circulated online without the victim's knowledge or consent. Police sources indicated that Ali and the minor had known each other for approximately two years and were reportedly in a relationship. When the girl's family discovered the association, they objected and explicitly warned Ali to distance himself from her. While the family noted he initially agreed to their demands, they allege he subsequently resorted to threats to pressure the minor into continuing the relationship. Acting on the family's FIR, Majdia police conducted a raid to secure Ali's arrest. A case (numbered 65/26) has been registered at the Sarthebari police station under Sections 4 and 14 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Police confirmed that an investigation into the incident is actively ongoing. In strict compliance with the legal protections afforded to minors under the POCSO Act, the victim's identity has been withheld.
