KANPUR: Two brothers have reportedly been arrested and sent straight to jail for allegedly raping their sixteen-year-old "adopted" sister in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur district.

As per reports, during police investigations, it came to notice that the parents of the accused had illegally adopted the victim from the orphanage in 2013 but no documents related to it have been shown. The accused brothers had also reportedly made an obscene video of the minor.

The girl used to receive threats from both of her stepbrothers that they would go viral with the footage. The victim was frequently subjected to rape attempts through extortion.

The victim informed the authorities that she was from the Banda district, that her mother had died in 2013, and that her father had abandoned his three daughters in the care of their mother.
