    The girls of Class 9 and 10 and the boys of Class 11. How do you call it, a juvenile sexual pleasure or a forced sexual abuse on the girls?

    Police need to first look for those 'other men', apparently adults and book them under blackmail and rape charges. However, the teenagers, both boys and girls, are equally responsible for this immoral relationship and should be counseled.
