Mangalore, July 22: A woman, who is accused of cheating her neighbor after borrowing gold jewellery, allegedly attempted to commit suicide on Thursday by consuming kerosene.
However, 35 year old Semiya, wife of Aliyabba, a resident of Paddandadka near Venur in Belthangady taluk, was immediately rushed to a private hospital in Mangalore.
It can be recalled that Semiya's neighbour Shamshad, who was allegedly gang-raped by two friends of the former- Farooq (30) and Naushad (34), had urged the police to take action against her for persuading the rapists.
Shamsahd's allegation
According to Shamshad, her neighbour Semiya had taken the gold jewellery from her some eight months ago to attend a marriage function with a promise to return by the same evening. However, she did not return them despite repeated requests.
She alleged that Semiya had handed over her gold to her friend Riyaz, who is also a native of Paddandadka.
Shamshad said that on June 30, Semiya invited her for a 'compromise meeting', in which two strange people- Naushad and Farooque-were also present.
Later, when she had been to Moodbidri on July 18, for her son's treatment, Naushad and Farooq, approached her and asked to accompany them to meet Riyaz, promising to arrange for the return of jewellery.
“After convincing me, the duo engaged an auto-rickshaw and took me to an unknown location, where the auto-driver stepped down and one among the duo continued to drive till reaching a forest area near Gantalkatte, where they both assaulted and gang-raped me,” she said.
Meanwhile, a case has been registered against Farooq and Naushad at Moodbidri police station.
