Bengaluru, Nov 27: A young software engineer has been arrested for allegedly raping his friend’s wife after she celebrated her husband’s birthday in an apartment in Kasavanahalli area, near Bellandur the capital of Karnataka.
The accused has been identified as Nilab Nayan, 26, a resident of HSR Layout, who works as a solutions management consultant with an IT major in Electronics City. The victim is a 24-year-old woman, whose husband is also a techie and friend of the accused.
The incident occurred in the intervening night of Sunday and Monday when the victim and her husband went to a sports and entertainment centre in Kasavanahalli to celebrate the latter’s birthday.
Her husband’s four friends, including Nayan, joined them and they began partying. Subsequently, all of them went to another friend’s house to continue the birthday bash.
“I was too tired as we had played various games at the sports arena before we went to our friend’s house. I went to the bedroom to rest for some time, while my husband and his friends were busy chatting in the balcony. The room was dimly lit. After some time I realised a man was undressing me and trying to assault me. On realising it wasn’t my husband, I tried to raise an alarm. But Nayan covered my mouth with his hand and continued to assault me,” the woman told police.
The woman pinched Nayan hard, freed herself from his clutches and screamed for help, police added. Responding to her cries, her husband and other friends rushed to the bedroom and started banging on the door as it was locked from inside. As Nayan ran into the bathroom, the woman opened the door. While everyone was trying to figure out what happened, Nayan fled the scene.
Preliminary investigation revealed Nayan, who is from Bihar, was also chatting with his friends before he went to answer nature’s call. He was on his way to the bathroom attached to the bedroom, when he saw the woman lying on the bed, police said.
“We arrested the accused on Monday night and produced him before court on Tuesday after completion of certain procedures, including medical tests. He has been remanded in judicial custody,” a police officer said.
The woman was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. “We have registered a case of rape against Nayan based on the complaint filed by the woman. Further probe is under way,” a police officer said.
Welcoming the move Dr Arathi Krishna told coastaldigst.com that Indians stranded in any foreign country can utilize this facility. "Initially, I was approached by Mr Zakaria and Mr Sheik who wanted chartered flights to help their employees fly back to India. I asked them to write to the Indian Ambassador in Saudi Araia Mr Ausaf Sayeed. Then I requested the ambassador to forward the request to Joint Secretary Dr Nagendra Prasad, who is in charge of gulf division in the Ministry of External Affairs, and then to Secretary on charge of Gulf and then I requested Secretary of Economic Relations Mr T S Tirumurti who was also in charge of Gulf to follow this up," she said.
