Police hunting for culprit after father lodges complaint

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT HYDERABAD MARCH 28

A 40-year-old woman and her 59-year-old mother were arrested by Cyberabad Police for forcing the woman’s 16-yearold daughter into a sexual relationsh­ip with a fake baba. The victim’s father lodged a complaint with Petbasheer­abad police. A hunt is on for the baba and his associates.

According to police, the woman was married to a businessma­n and had two daughters aged 16 and 7. They reside in Kompally. The woman’s parents residing in Chandanaga­r are obsessed with black magic and sorcery. The woman’s mother came into contact with one Madhuki-ran, resident of Vanasthali­puram, who identified himself as a sorcerer and claimed of possessing magical powers. The parents were worried that someone may perform black magic on their daughter’s family. So they approached the fake baba Madhukiran.

He would often perform pujas in their house to redeem them from the evil powers for which he collected money from them. Meanwhile, the baba also lured the woman’s mother into physical relation with him. The woman had, earlier, approached Madhukiran for puja but ended up in a physical relationsh­ip with him.

The woman was also having illicit relations with some other persons from the locality.

“An year ago, the baba was called to perform some puja. Following the puja, Madhukiran, along with the woman and her mother, took the daughter to Srisailam temple where the fake baba, under the guise of puja, sexually assaulted the girl. After that incident, the man continued to assault the girl sexually on multiple occasions even at their residence in Kompally,” Petbashee-rabad Inspector D.V. Ranga Reddy said.

Recently the woman’s husband caught her having illicit relations. During a puja at their house, he secretly recorded the fake baba’s assault of the girl on his mobile and lodged a complaint with the police and a case of rape on a woman under 16 years of age (376(2)(i)), sexual harassment (354-a), stalking (354-d) of the IPC and section 8 and 17 of the Protection of Children from sexual offences Act and charges of adultery against women.

THE CULPRIT sexually assaulted the girl multiple times.

THE WOMAN had illicit relations with some others from the locality.
