Hyderabad, January 9: A Class X student was allegedly raped by a 17-year-old youth, an auto driver, at Azad Chandrasekhar Nagar in Addagutta. According to Tukaramgate police, the youth befriended the girl, a student of a well-known school in Secunderabad, while she used to commute in his auto to reach school. He went out with her several times and reportedly exploited her sexually. Their intimate relationship came to the notice of her father recently when one of his friends saw the teenagers hanging out at a food joint.
"When grilled by the family members, the victim told them about the relationship and how he had sexually exploited her," Tukaramgate inspector S Santosh Kiran said. On Sunday morning, the victim's father approached the Tukaramgate police and lodged a complaint against the auto driver. After recording the statement of the victim in the presence of her family members, the Tukaramgate police booked a case against the auto driver under Section 376 ( rape) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). He was taken into custody and will be produced before a juvenile court on Monday.
