The 18-year-old victim alleged that the accused threatened her of dire consequences if she revealed the matter to anyone.
The video was allegedly circulated in the village through MMS, she alleged.
The victim also told the police after some days another man of the village, Kuldeep, stopped her and showed her the video. He allegedly threatened the victim and raped her.
Later on after a few days, Kuldeep and another man Mange Ram came to her house when she was alone and both allegedly raped her.
Yesterday, when the victim had gone out of her house to make some purchases, Rohtas, brother of Kuldeep tried to take her forcibly towards a house, but she, managed to escape and narrated the incident to her family.
After the victim's medical examination, the police have registered a case against six persons and arrested five men.
