Mysore: Two persons including a youth Congress leader, who was accused of sexually assaulting a minor girl on October 10, after taking her in a Maruti van to a deserted place in Nadanahalli were arrested by the Nazarbad Police.

The police in a meticulously planned and precisely executed operation raided a house in Manti, Belavatha village on KRS Road yesterday night, on Monday October 13.

The nabbed have been identified as C. Suresh, President of Chamundeshwari Assembly Block Youth Congress Committee and his friend Raju, both residents of Nadanahalli on Mysore-T.Narasipur Road. They were absconding after the alleged crime.

It is reported that Suresh and Raju, who left for Bangalore immediately after the crime in their effort to go to Mumbai, ran short of money and contacted a friend in city seeking Rs. 60,000.

Interestingly, Suresh and Raju’s friend got the call while he was being questioned by the Police for a clue on their location.

Acting swiftly, the Police advised the ‘friend’ to ask Suresh and Raju to come to Mysore and collect the money which was ready as he was not in a position to go to Bangalore.

Not knowing that it was a plot by the Police to trap them, Suresh and Raju came to Mysore and reached the Manti residence of their friend where they were apprehended.

It is reported that the girl, who was living with her uncle and was harassed by her aunt, made a call to Suresh who was known to her. Realising her helplessness, Suresh allegedly asked her to come near Nadanahalli Circle for talks at about 7 pm on Friday.

As the girl reached the Circle, Suresh and Raju asked her to board the van and took her to a deserted place before sexually assaulting her and dropped her near her house on the same day.

Meanwhile, a passerby, who knew the girl noticed that she was in a state of physical discomfort and immediately informed the matter to her uncle, who took her to the Police Station and lodged a complaint which was followed up.

Girl’s Uncle assaulted: Meanwhile, supporters of Suresh are reported to have assaulted the minor girl’s uncle for lodging a complaint with Police while he was at home yesterday and the injured uncle is being treated at K.R. Hospital in city.

It is reported that two supporters of Suresh, riding a Pulsar bike, attacked the girl’s uncle while he was traveling from Nadanahalli to Alanahalli on a bike resulting in injuries.

It is also said that Suresh had threatened to kill the victim’s uncle if he brought the incident to the notice of the Police.

Nazarbad Police have registered an attempt to murder case against the two accused.
