A 15-year-old girl was raped by 33 men several times over the past eight months, Indian police said after arresting 28 of the accused.
The victim was first raped by in January in Dombivli, a small city 25 miles northeast of Mumbai, which is India's richest city and its financial hub. The accused allegedly filmed the rape and then used the video to blackmail the victim for subsequent sexual assaults, said police.
"It all started when a friend of the girl raped her in January and made a video of the incident. He started blackmailing her on the basis of that video. Later on, his friends and acquaintances gang-raped her at least on four to five occasions at different places," Dattatray Karale, an additional commissioner with the Maharashtra Police, told reporters Thursday.
