Hyderabad, April 22: The 18-year-old girl who was sexually assualted by her boy friend at Narayanguda last Sunday confirmed Thursday that it was indeed date rape.
The victim informed the magistrate that she had been dating Kola Venkatesham for the last three months.
On Sunday, she and her boy friend telephoned each other five times during which they decided to meet up at a place of worship at Narayanguda.
Venkatesham picked her up there and drove to the cellar of the commercial taxes department.
According to the victim, when the accused first made advances on her, she resisted.
But subsequently, the accused forced himself on her and she ended up bleeding profusely.
The accused panicked upon seeing the blood and immediately called up her mother and told her that her daughter was not well and asked her to pick her up near Shanti theatre.
The victim’s mother, a visually challenged person, went and shifted the girl to a nearby private hospital. Though earlier it had been seen as a case of gang rape, the police clarified that it was rape by an individual. The victim is still undergoing treatment at a hospital.
