Madikeri: The dead body of a teenager, who went missing mysteriously about ten days ago from Siddapura was found on Wednesday, February 13 in a coffee plantation. Two Assamese labourers have been nabbed by the police in connection to the incident, which turned out to be a rape and murder case. The arrested are Ranjith (21) and Sandeep (30), both employed as workers at Karadikadu plantations.

It may be recalled that Sandhya, 17, a II PUC student had gone missing on February 4 while on her way back home from college. She was last seen near Nelyahudugeri lake. It is said that during the time when she went missing, she was engaged in a conversation with one of her relatives named Kishore, who is staying in Mumbai.

Kishore had heard Sandhya scream seconds before the call got disconnected. He had instantly called her family members and informed about the same and the family had started a search operation to find her, but all efforts only met failure.

With pressure mounting, the Superintendent of Police formed two investigation team and soon Ranjith came under scanner. On interrogating him, a shocking revelation was made by him.

Act of revenge

It is said that Sandhya had a fight with Ranjith and his friend and over the course of an altercation, Sandhya had allegedly insulted the accused. Ranjith wanted to teach Sandhya a lesson and he decided to take Sandeep’s help to do so.

On the fateful day, Ranjith and Sandeep abducted Sandhya near the lake and pulled her into a plantation and executed their plot of rape and murder.

Later her dead body was disposed by the two near Yemmegundi Ganapathi temple.
Sandeep too has confessed to the crime, said police sources.
