Hyderabad: A 40-year-old woman and her 59-year-old mother were arrested by Cyberabad Police for forcing the woman’s 16-year-old daughter into a sexual relationship with a fake baba. The victim’s father lodged a complaint with Petbasheerabad police. A hunt is on for the baba and his associates. According to police, the woman was married to a businessman and had two daughters aged 16 and 7. They reside in Kompally. The woman’s parents residing in Chandanagar are obsessed with black magic and sorcery. The woman’s mother came into contact with one Madhuki-ran, resident of Vanasthalipuram, who identified himself as a sorcerer and claimed of possessing magical powers. The parents were worried that someone may perform black magic on their daughter’s family. So they approached the fake baba Madhukiran.
He would often perform pujas in their house to redeem them from the evil powers for which he collected money from them. Meanwhile, the baba also lured the woman’s mother into physical relation with him. The woman had, earlier, approached Madhukiran for puja but ended up in a physical relationship with him. The woman was also having illicit relations with some other persons from the locality.
“An year ago, the baba was called to perform some puja. Following the puja, Madhukiran, along with the woman and her mother, took the daughter to Srisailam temple where the fake baba, under the guise of puja, sexually assaulted the girl. After that incident, the man continued to assault the girl sexually on multiple occasions even at their residence in Kompally,” Petbashee-rabad Inspector D.V. Ranga Reddy said.
Recently the woman’s husband caught her having illicit relations. During a puja at their house, he secretly recorded the fake baba’s assault of the girl on his mobile and lodged a complaint with the police and a case of rape on a woman under 16 years of age (376(2)(i)), sexual harassment (354-a), stalking (354-d) of the IPC and section 8 and 17 of the Protection of Children from sexual offences Act and charges of adultery against women. The victim was sent for medical examination, while a hunt is on to nab Madhukiran and other suspects involved.
