eUK ವಿಶೇಷ: A shocking gang-rape of a minor case reported from Hyderabad in June has gone virtually unnoticed. Coming close on the heels of the Jubilee Hills gangrape involving sons of an AIMIM MLA and the Waqf Board head among others, this case occurred in Chandrayangutta police station area of Hyderabad Old City, AIMIM supremo Owaisi’s stronghold.
As per a report, the four accused – Ajaz, Abbu, Salar and Feroz – were presented before a local court and remanded in judicial custody at the time. Current state of the case is not known.
But what makes this case even more shocking than usual is that the aunt of one of the accused, Feroz, was involved in covering up the crime.
The 14-year-old minor had gone to her grandmother’s house, who scolded her for venturing out late in the night. So the girl started walking back to her home, when some hooligans started passing lewd comments at her.
This is when two of the accused approached her offering to ‘help her reach home’. They took her to an eating joint for dinner, and later took her to a room in a secluded place close to Pahadi Shareef (a Sufi dargah) before raping her. The other two accused joined their associates and they too sexually assaulted the girl in turns.
After the assault, Feroz took the girl to his aunt’s house. “His aunt allegedly washed the victim’s clothes and thus tried to screen the evidence in the sexual assault case,” a police officer said. Later, the girl was dropped in Chandrayanagutta area.
Initially, the police registered a case of missing person after her parents approached them. Later, the sections of law were altered to kidnap and gangrape. A case was also registered against Feroz’s aunt for screening evidence in the case. She was absconding as per reports at the time.

The minor, who lives with her grandmother in Moghalpura, had left home to visit her parents at Pahadi Shareef, when she was lured by the cab driver who raped her with his friend.
In another case of rape, a 16-year-old girl was raped in the limits of Kalapathar police station on May 31. The accused Md. Sufiyan (21) works as an event manager, and he had lured the victim to his home when she was returning home from her job at a textile shop near Charminar.
