    According to the girl’s family, Rashid first lured her to his home by offering fruit. He allegedly filmed the assault and threatened to harm her relatives if she told anyone.

    The family knew and decided to do nothing about it?

        Even I want to believe that but I am an Indian and know how people think here. Families here think if their daughter/wife/mother/sister have been raped, it would bring disgrace to them if the news spread in the public so they stay silent and hope it would pass. This is especially true for low income families.
