21-year-old law student gangraped by boyfriend and three others, leading to arrest after parents' complaint, sparking outrage and calls for justice.
A 21-year-old law student was allegedly gangraped by four persons, including her boyfriend, in the city, the police said on Tuesday (November 19, 2024).
Though the crime was allegedly committed on August 13, 2024, it came to light only after the girl’s parents lodged a complaint with the II Town police. The police arrested all four accused on Tuesday (November 19, 2024).
The arrested were identified as B. Vamsi (27), a final year law student who works as a part-time food delivery boy; B, Jagadeesh (27), who works as a part-time food delivery boy; P. Anand (28); and D. Rajesh, a final year law student.
As per the complaint, Vamsi befriended the girl and had allegedly been in physical relationship with her for the last more than one year stating that he was in love with her and intended to marry her.
On August 13, Vamsi allegedly took the girl to the house of Anand at Krishna Gardens under the II Town police station limits. When Vamsi and the girl were in their private space, Jagadeesh, who was also in the house, allegedly took a video of them.
Later, Jagadeesh, Anand and Rajesh shared the video among themselves and, with the support of Vamsi, raped the girl by threatening to expose her.
“Later, the accused allegedly started to threaten the girl using the video and allegedly raped her at Thotlakonda,” the police said.
