Police constable taken into custody on charge of raping a minor girl
The Hindu
The accused was posted in Kadaba police station
Kadaba police in Dakshina Kannada district have registered cases of rape and rape-of-a-minor under relevant provisions against constable Shivaraj Nayak who was taken into custody on September 27.
The complainant, who is a daily wage worker, said Nayak had been visiting his house to deliver summons and other court paper as his elder daughter was a victim of sexual assault. Even after completion of court proceedings, the constable continued to visit his house under some pretext.
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
