Hyderabad: The city police has decided to take up the investigation of the rape case in which a Mumbai-based model was drugged and raped by a gang on New Year’s eve.
City police commissioner Anurag Sharma told the Deccan Chronicle that the cops will start an investigation once Mumbai police transfers the FIR.
“We have already inquired the matter with Versova police. They will be transferring the case soon. Once it is done, we will start the probe,” he said adding that jurisdictional issues will be sorted out during the investigation, and the concerned police station will be given charge.
Mumbai police will be transferring the case officially to Hyderabad police with the preliminary findings in the investigation. City police will also launch a manhunt for the accused named Ali, who received the model at Shamshabad Airport.
This is how the victim described the entire incident in her complaint, “On December 30 around 6.30 pm, I received a call from a person called Happy, asking me if I would be ready to perform for a New Year’s party. I agreed.
Then Happy’s associate called me for my personal details and booked a flight ticket to Hyderabad. When I arrived, he met me and introduced himself as Ali.”
The victim said that four other unknown persons, including the driver, were there in the car when she entered it.
“We just kept driving for 2-3 hours until we stopped at a place where they got food inside the car. After eating, I was moved to another car where the three men from the first car joined me. We reached a bungalow at around 8.45 pm. Ali, two of his friends and myself entered the house. Ali and one of his friends then stepped out to smoke while another gave me spiked drink which.
I then fell unconscious. I believe the men raped me then,” she said When she woke up, she found herself in a Volvo bus. “I found myself in Borivali after being woken up by the Volvo’s driver. I realised I was in Mumbai and requested him to drop me at Andheri. When I went home, and freshened up, I realised that I was raped,” she said.
As I was having pain in my private parts. I also learnt someone had already withdrawn Rs 57, 000 using my ATM card.” She said Upon being asked how the accused got hold of her PIN number, Jai Singh of Shakti Foundation who helped her file the FIR said it was written in a small diary inside her purse which the accused found. The victim is currently recuperating at Cooper Hospital.
