"Daughters of rich people are victims of blackmail"

An ordinary day of May in the year 1992. A news is printed on the front page of Dainik Navjyoti newspaper, a local newspaper of Ajmer, Rajasthan. The headline of the news was "Daughters of rich people are victims of blackmail"... After seeing this news, there is an uproar and then a horrifying story is revealed layer by layer. It was revealed that a gang used to call girls studying in a girls school in Ajmer to a farm house and rape them and then blackmail them by showing their obscene pictures so that they could bring more girls. The mastermind of this entire scandal was the then Ajmer Youth Congress President Farooq Chishti, Nafees Chishti and Anwar Chishti. There were many other accused with him.

This is how the series started

To carry out their disgusting intentions, these people targeted the girls of a reputed college in Ajmer. One of these accused, Farooq Chishti, first trapped a minor girl there in his love trap. Then he took her to his farm house on some pretext and raped her there. After raping the girl, the accused took her nude pictures with a reel camera. After this, the accused pressurized the victim to bring her friends there too and then the series of brutality started.

One after another, girls became victims

The helpless girl, fearing that her obscene pictures would be leaked, was forced to push her friend into this quagmire as well. One to two, two to three and so on, who knows how many innocent girls were raped by these brutes and their nude pictures were taken. After this, they started calling everyone to different places by blackmailing them and made them victims of their lust. According to the information, the number of girls who were victims in this case was more than 100. These girls used to go to farm houses in front of the eyes of their families. Vehicles used to come to pick them up and also to drop them back. According to Dainik Navjyoti, it was not that the police did not get a clue about this case, but because this case could take a communal turn and the situation was very bad at that time, the police was also afraid to take action in this case.

Victims started committing suicide

Gradually the whole city came to know about this scandal. Obscene pictures of the girls started going viral. According to the newspaper, after the pictures went viral, many other people also blackmailed these girls. After being blackmailed by so many people and having to bear all this alone, one by one the girls started committing suicide. In this way, after the suicide of 6-7 girls, the matter became serious. Similarly, the obscene picture of a girl floating in the air reached Santosh Gupta, a journalist of Dainik Navjyoti newspaper. Seeing the picture, Santosh was shocked. He decided that he would get to the bottom of this matter.

This is how the matter was revealed

He tried to talk to the students but the students were not ready to come forward. However, gradually after reassurance and persuasion, the students also showed courage and came forward and registered a case. Santosh used his newspaper and printed the news of this scandal on the front page. As soon as he did this, there was an uproar in the whole of Ajmer. Santosh started a series on this case and his news started putting pressure on the police and administration. Along with the news, Santosh also published obscene pictures of the girls in which only the faces of the accused were visible so that the sexual abuse of the girl students could be seen with open eyes. Then, there was an uproar in the whole of Rajasthan and people came out on the streets.

Investigation started after pressure from all sides

After the case came to light in this way and was suppressed, finally on 30 May 1992, amidst pressure from all sides, Bhairon Singh Shekhawat handed over the case to CID CB. After this, Ajmer Police also registered a report in this case and investigation was started.

They were sentenced to ten years in jail instead of life imprisonment. After this, the Rajasthan government challenged this order in the Supreme Court, which was rejected by the court. After a long wait of almost 32 years, finally the culprits in this heinous crime were sentenced, which the families of the victims had been waiting for so long.
