HUNT ON TO NAB MINOR GIRL’S RAPIST

The police in Ballikaruvu mandal of Prakasam district are looking for a man who allegedly raped a minor girl repeatedly for over a week. The police said that the crime came to light after the minor girl, missing for the past one week, returned to the village on Thursday and described what she had undergone to her parents.

According to sub inspector Padi Ankamma Rao, K. Yesobu, of Sanampudi village in Savalyapuram mandal, Guntur district, made friends with the minor girl through social media and had frequent telephone conversations with her in the past one month.

“On November 1, the accused visited the native village of the minor girl and met her while she was on her way to school. Promising to show her different places, he took her away. It was learnt from the girl that they had travelled to different places, including Chirala, Narasaraopeta and Vinukonda in the past one week and he sexually assaulted her several times,” the SI said. The parents of the girl had searched for her at various places but in vain. On Thursday, Yesobu left the girl on the outskirts of the village and fled. The girl told her parents all that had happened and they approached the police and registered a case against Yesobu.
