A boy, who was accused in the gang rape of a 26-year-old vlogger in Shillong, lodged a complaint on Tuesday, alleging that it was the victim who had sexually assaulted him, police said.

Last week, three of his friends were arrested in connection with the gang rape, while he was on the run. After securing an anticipatory bail in the gang rape case, he filed the complaint, they said.

“One of the accused persons was a minor at the time of the crime, and he has filed a complaint at Rynjah police station against the woman, alleging he was sexually assaulted by her on that day,” said East Khasi Hills SP Rituraj Ravi. (PTI)
