Hyderabad, September 13 INN: More than two years after a rape case of a married woman was registered and wrongly closed, the Crime Investigation Department unraveled the facts and arrested a police constable and his associate.
According to CID, the case of heinous offence of a rape of a married woman took place on the intervening night of July 13-14th, 2010, in Vinukonda. The accused, Orsu Venkatesh, 22, who was then working as a gunman of Vinukonda SI of Police, came to the house of the victim in the odd hours along with Sk Saida, a removed Special Police Officer, on the pretext of enquiry into her petition filed against her husband. Venkatesh sent her husband away with Sk Saida on some pretext, brought the victim into her house and committed rape. Then he went away threatening the victim not to reveal the incident to anyone.
The CID said that the Vinukonda Police of Guntur district have not investigated the case properly and finally the case was closed by the local police. The local Inspectors who investigated the case have tried to shield the police constable successively and recommended for the closure of the case and they went to the extent of prosecuting the victim woman on the plea that she already gave a false complaint. It was found that the charge against SI was dropped, after the case was closed.
Sensing that the case was closed wrongly, CID took over the investigation of the case, and further investigated the case. Investigation established the commission of rape by the police constable including forensic evidence and role played by the Special Police Officer in preventing the husband to rescue his wife when sexually assaulted.
The CID unraveled the entire episode and finally arrested both the accused on Wednesday. Both the accused are being produced before the Jurisdictional Magistrate for Judicial Remand. Further investigation into the case are on, the CID said.
