Hubballi, Jun 15: A JD(S) leader and his aide in Hubballi have been arrested by the Ashok Nagar police on charge of rape attempt on a minor girl.

Police commissioner PH Rane said that Muktumsab Sogalad, 32, of Jannat Nagar, Dharwad, who is also a JD(S) leader and his aide Mahmmedsha Sayyed were arrested and booked under the Pocso Act.

"There is also a case registered against the duo at Vidyagiri police station," he added.

A minor girl of Mudalgi village in Gokak taluk was going to meet her lover Kenchappa Madar in Karwar on May 5. While waiting for Karwar bus at the new bus stand in Hubballi, accused Muktumsab lured her and took her to a lodge in the city.

Meanwhile, in connection with the earlier murder case, Vidyagiri police raided the lodge on a tip-off that Muktumsab had checked into the lodge.

By then Muktumsab had escaped from the backdoor leaving the girl alone in the room. The girl filed a complaint against Muktumsab alleging that he attempted to rape her. The girl was sent to her village.

However, on June 12, the girl eloped with her lover Madar, who lives in Mangaluru. As the girl’s parents had filed a kidnap case against Madar at Surathkal police station, both the girl and Madar were taken into police custody.

“We arrested Muktumsab at Tadas village. Though the alleged rape attempt was made in Vidyanagar police limits, we had assigned it to Ashok Nagar police inspector Jagadish Hanchinal," Rane explained.
