Amravati S*x Scandal: Nagpur Survivor Breaks Silence, Travels 250 Km To Testify Before SIT
In a breakthrough for the Amravati s*x scandal, a 15-year-old survivor from Nagpur travelled 250km to record her statement before the SIT. Despite identifying eight victims, police previously struggled to get formal complaints due to social stigma. Officials are now working to add more sections to the FIR, vowing to hold all accused accountable.
Mumbai, April 21: In a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the Amravati s*x scandal, a 15-year-old survivor from Nagpur has come forward to record her statement before the Special Investigation Team (SIT). Demonstrating resolve against social stigma, the teenager travelled 250 kilometers to the Paratwada police station in Amravati district on Saturday, April 18, to provide her testimony, reported Times of India. This move marks a potential turning point for the investigation, which has faced challenges in securing official complaints from identified victims.
While police, in coordination with social groups, have identified eight survivors following the interrogation of the key accused, Ayaan Ahmed (Ayaan Shaikh), many had previously refrained from coming forward, fearing social repercussions. The Nagpur teenager is believed to be the only survivor who was lured offline, having been befriended during the Urs of a revered Sufi saint.

Currently, seven individuals besides the main accused remain in custody in connection with the distribution of related videos on social media.
