The accused circulated nude photographs of the victims, causing nationwide outrage. The scandal, which involved a total of 18 accused, has seen nine individuals already sentenced in the past.One of the main perpetrators, Farooq Chishti, who was the then-president of Ajmer Youth Congress, played a central role in the scandal. He lured the son of a businessman, raped him, and took compromising photos. Farooq then blackmailed the young man into bringing his girlfriend to a poultry farm, where she was also raped and photographed. The exploitation didnt stop there—Farooq used these photographs to coerce many other girls into a similar fate.How did the scandal came to lightThe scandal unraveled when the accused took the incriminating photo reels to a color lab for printouts. The lab staff, horrified by the content, leaked the photos, leading to their widespread circulation. The trauma and shame drove six of the victims to commit suicide, further deepening the tragedy.With todays verdict, justice has finally caught up with the remaining accused, bringing closure to a dark chapter in Indian legal history.
