44 arrested for raping a minor
Police claim - two accused fled abroad
Continuous action is being taken in the sensational case of a Dalit female athlete being raped several times in adolescence in Kerala. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has so far arrested 44 people in this case.
The victim had told her ordeal
Let us tell you, the 18-year-old victim had told that 62 people had sexually abused her in the last five years. When her ordeal came to light, several FIRs were registered in two police stations of Pathanamthitta district.
Two accused are abroad
Now DIG S Ajita Begum, who is investigating, said that 30 FIRs have been registered in connection with the alleged sexual assault on the woman. Also, 44 out of 59 accused have been arrested. She said, 'Two accused are absconding. They are currently abroad. We are considering issuing a look-out circular for them. We are also planning to issue a red corner notice for them through Interpol. Apart from these, 13 more people are to be arrested.'
No accused will be spared: DIG
The officer said, 'We are looking for the hideouts of the accused. They will be arrested soon. A foolproof and scientific investigation will be conducted by the SIT. We will not spare any accused. There will be no compromise. We will bring all of them to justice.'
The girl was picked up from the bus stand
The police said that the investigation so far has revealed that the accused met the girl at a private bus stand in Pathanamthitta. After this, she was taken to various places in vehicles and abused. At the same time, the victim was studying in class XII last year. Then a young man took her to a rubber plantation in Ranni through Instagram, where he raped her along with three others.
The official said that investigations revealed that she was gang-raped on at least five occasions, including incidents inside a car in January 2024 and at the Pathanamthitta General Hospital. The girl, now 18, has alleged in her complaint that 62 people sexually abused her since the age of 13.
This is how it was revealed
The case came to light when members of an NGO visited the girl's house during a field visit. When the girl told about the horrific incidents that happened to her in five years, the NGO informed the Child Welfare Committee. The police have formed an SIT to investigate.
