The schoolgirl said her family approached the police on July 20 after the accused uploaded the video of the crime on social media. The victim’s mother said the family went to the Hiranagar police station but the officials didn’t register a case. “We then went to a court in Hiranagar, which directed the women’s police cell to lodge an FIR (First Information Report ) and investigate the case,” the victim’s mother said. The schoolgirl said she was raped inside the Roohi Resorts at Kootah Morh on Jammu-Pathankot highway in May and that Vishal had filmed the crime on his mobile phone. Kathua has been in the news after the brutal gangrape and murder of an eight-year-old nomadic girl inside a temple in January last year.
