Muzaffarnagar:

Police have arrested a 15-year-old boy for allegedly killing a 50-year-old man who had repeatedly raped him in a village in Muzaffarnagar. The victim’s body was found in his house on Monday.

The teenager was arrested on Saturday and taken to a youth detention center. He was charged with murder after the man’s family filed a complaint with police.

“Weeks ago, the deceased anally abused the minor and recorded an obscene video clip,” said Superintendent of Police (rural) Aditya Bansal.

He said the victim repeatedly sexually harassed and blackmailed the boy.

“On Monday, the man forced the boy to come to his home after threatening to upload his video online. While harassing him, the boy picked up a sharp object lying next to him and attacked the man’s head and throat,” he said.
