Man promises job offer, then rapes minor girl

A 27-year-old man was arrested for kidnapping and raping a 19-year- old girl on the pretext of finding her a job. According to the police, Leetu Mitra befriended the girl on a train from Bengal to Delhi in January 2013. She was a
minor then.

When the two deboarded the train, the accused asked her to accompany him to his house. He then raped her on several occasions. On one occasion he shot a video which he used to blackmail her.

Police sources say the victim finally managed to escape when she was left alone at home. She met a man from an NGO and narrated her ordeal, following which he informed the police. A team of police officers launched a manhunt and nabbed Mitra on Friday evening while he was roaming in the area. Further investigations are underway.
