Man arrested for usurping office and raping girls

What’s the matter

A 30-year-old man named Brajesh Prajapati was arrested in Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh for the alleged rape of at least seven tribal girls.

According to Ravindra Verma, Sidhi Superintendent of Police, Prajapati used a voice-changing app to pose as a college professor and offer scholarships as bait.

“All the victims are members of the tribal community and belong to financially weak families,” Verma told The Indian Express.

Accomplices and victims: uncovering the heinous crime

Prajapati was arrested along with two other men who gave him the phone number of the first victim. The arrest came after allegations were made by four women.

During interrogation, Prajapati confessed to attacking three other victims.

“In one case, the accused raped a woman and her minor sister by luring them into a forest area,” Verma said.

Due to the involvement of a minor in his crimes, the POCSO Act was applied against him.

Voice changing app and false promises

Prajapati, a laborer, learned how to use a voice-changing app from YouTube.

He raped the first victim after obtaining her phone number with the help of his co-defendant.

“He told the woman that her son would pick her up and accompany her to her house where the scholarship would be paid,” Verma explained.

“The defendant then took the victim to a remote location in a forest area, where he left her in an abandoned Subscribe to belongs to his family,” he added.

Timeline of the investigation: uncovering the trail of crimes

Police believe these incidents have been occurring since January 2024. The investigation was launched after two survivors contacted law enforcement.

“In one case, a survivor managed to escape while being transported on his bike,” Verma said.

It was around this time that the first survivor also contacted the police, which led to the arrest of Prajapati and further investigations into his call records to trace other victims.
