kateelpriestMangaluru, Feb 7: In a shocking revelation, a 19-year-old girl has lodged a complaint against a priest of Sri Durga Parameshwari temple, Kateel, accusing him of raping and threatening to kill her.

The accused has been identified as Harischandra Rao alias Appu Bhat, an assistant priest at the historic temple and resident of Kateel town.

Even though the alleged rape took place in August 2015, the incident came to light only after the victim approached police seeking justice.

According to the victim, who is now a six months pregnant, the priest sexually assaulted her when she had gone to his work six months ago and then threatened to kill her if she revealed the matter to anyone.

According to sources, after the victim became pregnant, she allegedly started blackmailing the priest and demanded money. The priest also had allegedly taken her for abortion some time ago but the hospital staff refused to involve in the crime.

After the priest failed to reach a compromise with the victim, the latter filed a complaint at Bajpe Police Station recently.

It is learnt that two months after the priest allegedly raped the girl, his wife had committed suicide by hanging herself. He also has a twenty year old daughter.

If it is so, why did'nt she came out when the incident took place.
If she was scared then, how she became bold now?

Such kind of blacksheep are found in all religions.

And if the priest is guilty then he must be punished as per law of the land.

I was just trying to think what kind of punishment we can give to this rapist.....first and foremost thing is his wife has been committed suicide...for that he did not get punishment....now raped this girl....she will have to face the society with baby which will come up in the near future....

best punishment for this crime is \hang him till death\""

Backstabbing the nation is the biggest crime. This is apparently not a rape. This is consensual sex. May be that woman is used as a bait by anti nationals.

Temple Priest again....
Those who are intelligent should understand surely its not a divine place were many priest are caught in such evil acts specailly with girls.. If girls are not active & did not recognize the DIVINE option of COVERING their beauty to strangers... More of such incidents will follow in near future by these evil innocent looking foxes...

Now be careful ladies.... you are asking permission to go all the temples. Never mind you can go but go along with your blood relation men. Duniya Kharaab hain. Even you are not safe in temple or mandir. There are many Swamiji's were in India facing these charges. You know very well.

In 1400 years before Prophet Mohammed guided that any women who wish to go outside (such as market, mosque etc.) to accompany their blood relation men.
