Hyderabad: Software Engineer Raped by Childhood friend in Vanasthalipuram
HYDERABAD: A software engineer was allegedly gangraped by two men, including a childhood friend, under Vanasthalipuram police station limits on Monday.
According to Vanasthalipuram ACP P. Kasi Reddy, Gowtham Reddy had invited the victim to a party for getting a job in an American multinational company. Consequently, the two went to a bar and restaurant at Omkarnagar where Gowtham gave her four shots of alcohol forcibly.
After she started to feel unconscious, he took her to a room upstairs in the bar and restaurant and raped her. Later, he called his friend, Shivaji Reddy, who went to the room and committed the crime.
Alerted by Shivaji’s presence, the victim screamed and made a phone call to her friend. The two accused fled the scene. Her friend called another friend of his and the two shifted her to a hospital in LB Nagar.
The victim’s friends informed her brother who lodged a complaint with the police. While Gowtham has been arrested, Shivaji, who runs a real estate business, is absconding.
A case was registered under Section 70 (1) of BNS and 3 (2) (V) of the SCs/Sts (POA) Act, 1989.
