Accused Mahesh (19) as well as abettor Meena Devi, at whose house the five allegedly repeated the act for over two weeks, were arrested today, police said.
Both were today produced in a local court which sent Meena to a 14-day judicial custody and Mahesh for a one-day police custody.
The victim, a class VII student filed her complaint yesterday following which the police registered a case of gangrape, molestation and collusion in the crime against the six accused persons, including the woman.
She also alleged that the youths had also made a video of the act which was persistently used to coerce her into sexual intercourse with them for days. They also threatened her of dire consequences if the matter was leaked to police.
The minor victim, however, mustered courage and narrated the incident to her parents who in turn lodged a complaint with the police.
