The Police lodged a missing complaint of Aarti registered by her father and investigated and thus arrested the accused. Later on, they interrogated the accused and rescued the victim. Police lodged an FIR of Rape against the accused. But they restrained the victim also in the police station for six days which was not an admirable act. They did so as they were of the thought that she will be pressurized by the society and accused family, so to avoid this, they restrained her in the police station. The victim’s statement has not been recorded under section 164 of Cr.PC. The charge sheet was submitted to the court.
The medical of the victim was conducted on 15th April 2008 where her age came out to be 15-16 years. However, the medical examiner who was a male doctor, gave his opinion that nothing can be said about the occurrence of rape. He counted on FSL Report. The challan for the case was submitted under the court. The presiding officer acquitted the accused on account of benefit of doubt as the evidences turned hostile.
The accused and her family are habitual offenders and they have been engaged in this kind of offence earlier also. His brother was involved in kidnapping of a Telia boy involving an amount of ransom of rupees 5 Lac. One of his brothers has been sent to jail under the charge of rape after which he was murdered. After the arrest of the accused, the family of the accused started threatening Aarti and her family to compel them for withdrawal of the case. On April 14th 2008, the brother of the accused went to Aarti’s home and abused them in filthy words and threatened them to kill if they will not take their complaint back. Victim’s Statement has not been recorded under section 164 of Cr.P.C. Challan has been submitted before the court. The culprit has been acquitted of the charges. The girl due to this incident was traumatized. She has now confined herself at home. The culprit has been acquitted from the charges due to which she is devastated

Lakshman has submitted his resume and a letter to the same job with reference to Sri Divya stating that she is his would-be and they would like to work together. Sri Divya convinced her employer, as he had one subject to pass out and 6 months time was given to him.
He came to Hyderabad on the pretext of completing his degree. Divya has came to know that he was trying to go to Australia. When she talked to him, he refused to marry her saying that she belongs to scheduled caste and hence his parents would not agree to their marriage. He also demanded Rs.20,000,00/- dowry from her. Even Lakshman’s brother, V Ram Mohan Rao, 5th Ward Member in Srikakulam, threatened Divya to leave his brother. Later Lakshman stopped talking to Divya.

Later one unknown person called her mother and informed that Divya is in Hyderabad and is ill. Her mother tried calling her and could talk to her at 01:30 noon. Divya was weeping and said that she would reach home in 10 minutes but came at 03:00 pm in auto. Noticing that she was ill her mother tried to feed her but Divya vomited. When her mother asked, she replied that she was given milk by Sanjana. She was taken to local hospital. The doctor informed that she is toxicated and should be taken to other hospital.
