Two individuals were arrested on charges of extortion for promising jobs in the state food and supplies department.
A 15-year-old alleged gangrape survivor from Uttar Pradesh reportedly killed herself after being ‘threatened’ again of the same fate by her five tormentors, the police said on Sunday.
The police, which had initially claimed that it was a case of suicide, later arrested the five accused.
“Sonu, Monu, Rohit, Sagar and Pappu have been arrested. The Station House Officer (SHO) of Ramala police station Sharad Tilara has been suspended for laxity in duty, and necessary departmental proceedings have been initiated against him,” said the Superintendent of Police Baghpat on Sunday.

The victim had killed herself on Friday and she was cremated on Saturday.
Four months ago, five people were arrested on a complaint made by the girl’s family but were later let off due to lack of proof, according to media reports.
According to the complaint made by the girl’s family, around four months back she was abducted by the five people. After five days, the girl was found unconscious outside Ramala police station. When she regained consciousness, the girl said that five people had abducted her, locked her in a room and raped her, the complaint said.
On October 13, the same people allegedly threatened her with rape. She told her mother about it, but before they could approach the police, the girl ended her life by hanging herself, the police said.
