HYDERABAD: An unidentified man who offered a lift to a woman in his car misbehaved with her and tried to rape her at Yousufguda on Thursday. The woman in her mid-30s resisted his attempts and managed to escape. Following a complaint, police launched a manhunt to nab the suspect.
The woman, a resident of Tolichowki, came to Yousufguda for work. Later, she went to a toddy compound and consumed toddy. As she left the place and was waiting for an autorickshaw to go home, an unidentified person in his mid-20s, stopped his car by her. He told the woman that he knew her before and offered to drop her.
Believing him, the woman boarded the vehicle. A few moments later, he started behaving rudely with her, touched her inappropriately and forced himself on her. When she resisted and raised an alarm, he stopped the car and forced her out and sped away.
She lodged a complaint with Madhuranagar police. Teams have been deputed to trace the suspect. “We are verifying CCTVs in the area for further clues,” Madhuranagar police said. Further probe is on.
