DEHRA DUN: An obscene MMS clip has rocked the quiet university town of Srinagar in Dehra Dun.

The idyllic town in Pauri district of Uttarakhand witnessed widespread protests on Monday after a private TV channel carried a story saying the MMS clip had been doing the rounds in the city for a couple of months. Accusing the administration of not acting, students and residents of the town took to the streets. Markets too were closed.

Acting on the report and an FIR lodged by a Srinagar resident, a local shopkeeper — Faizal alias Lucky — was arrested on Sunday and was charged with raping the girl shown in the MMS clip. The girl — a BSc student of Garhwal University — was sent for medical examination.

Initially, Faizal claimed the girl was his friend and the clip was made with her consent. However, he later told the police he had lost the memory card of his cellphone and the clip had been circulated by people who found it. The girl accused Faizal of blackmailing her, police said, adding that she said Faizal raped her after giving sedative and filmed it.

Newly-elected chief minister B C Khanduri — who is also Pauri MP — promised strong action against the guilty.
