Minor girl raped by two youth in Hyderabad

HYDERABAD: A 13-year-old minor was allegedly dragged into a car, sedated and then gangraped at an OYO lodge in Nampally.

The victim, a Dabeerpura resident, was walking in Bagh-e-Jahara when she was forced into a car by two known persons two days ago. The accused Syed Naymath, 26, and Ravish Mehdi, 21, are believed to have pushed her into the car on the night of September 12 after convincing her that they needed to talk about her career.

They took her to the OYO lodge after sedating her and repeatedly raped her for two days, the police said. At 8 pm on September 14, the accused let the girl off near her home on the Nalgonda-Chaderghat route before fleeing. On September 13 at around 3 am, the victim’s mother had lodged a complaint with the Dabeerpura police stating that her daughter was missing. The same day the victim’s parents also filed a formal report with the Dabeerpura police in a sealed envelope stating her daughter had been raped.

Based on the victim’s statement, the police picked up Nayamath and Ravish from their residences in Rein Bazaar and Saidabad in the early hours of Thursday, police sources.

The accused were charged with rape in accordance with Sections 376 IPC and 5 and 6 of the Pocso Act.

After medical evaluation, the FSL team discovered injection syringe traces on the girl's arms, proving that she had been raped. She was subsequently taken to a test to determine her age, according to police. “I gave my daughter Rs 20 to get medicines for me at 8 pm on September 12. I asked her to get medicine since I had significant pain in my chest,” the victim's mother stated.

After the victim failed to show up, her parents and brother began to worry. They called the medical shop and were informed that her daughter had not visited. Later, they checked with the victim's relatives in Chanchalguda, who also confirmed that her daughter had not arrived. The victim's mother stated that she reported the incident to the Dabeerpura police at 3 am the next morning. The accused allegedly abandoned the victim near a junction in Nalgonda and fled. When the police identified the girl and brought her, she could barely walk, the victim’s mother stated.

The victim was brought by the police to the Bharosa centre, where she is receiving counselling. The victim's mother stated, "I demand that the state government punish the accused who destroyed my daughter's life."

“On Tuesday at 8 pm, we received a call from dial 100. We immediately rushed to the scene and discovered the victim standing on the corner of Chaderghat and Nalgonda roads. During counselling, the victim revealed the details of the case. The accused have confessed to the crime. We are visiting the scene of the offence along with the CLUES team to collect forensic evidence,” a police officer of Dabeerpura police station said.
