Hyderabad: A 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped by her 25-year-old cousin several times last month in Nalgonda. The girl was staying with her grandfather when the incident happened. When she went to her mother and complained of pain, her mother asked her about the incident.
Police registered a case against G. Sai, a Hyderabad native, her grandfather Anjaiah and government school teacher Rajender Reddy for allegedly encouraging Sai to rape the girl.
The girl belongs to the Kindisheshai Kunta village and was working as a helper at a cotton mill in Dindi. When her mother tried to get her married seven months ago she escaped from the mill and approached the Child Welfare Department. Later, she was rescued and handed over her to her grandfather who was staying in Tavaklapur village.
Officials also deposited Rs 1.5 lakh in her name and the pass book was with Anjaiah. The girl went to a school in Tavaklapur village till April 2016.
As she was not going to school this academic year, her mother sent a legal notice to Anjaiah, asking him to explain why her daughter was not going to school. Not knowing what to reply he sent the child back to her mother. After going to her mother, she complained of pain and when taken to hospital doctors said that she was raped. When asked, the girl said that her cousin Sai raped her at her grandfather’s home.
“A month ago when she was watching TV and her grandfather was sleeping outside Sai raped her,” inspector C. Venkateshwar Reddy said. The girl’s mother alleged that Anjaiah and Rajender Reddy encouraged Sai to rape the child so that they can marry her to him and then get the money deposited in his name.
The girl was sent for medical examination and teams were sent to Hyderabad to trace Sai. Police registered a rape case against Sai, Anjaiah and Rajender. Reddy under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
