The Moinabad police registered a case against a 13-year-old boy for allegedly raping a five-year-old girl. According to the complaint of the girl’s father, the boy lured the victim to his house by offering her a chocolate and reportedly sexually assaulted her.
After the victim’s father came home and found out the incident, he lodged a complaint with the police. The boy was booked under Sections 376(2)(f) of the IPC and under the POCSO Act.
Two killed in accident
Two persons died and two others were injured in a road accident under the Chevella police station on Sunday night. The incident took place around 8.30 p.m. on the main road between Mirzaguda and Kanapur villages. The two deceased were identified as Ravi and Sattaiah, said a police official.
“We don’t know what exactly happened as there were no eyewitnesses. There was a bike as well and it is unclear whether two or three or all four of them were on the bike,” said the official. There were no street lights. The two injured persons were shifted to a hospital for treatment.
Identified
The man who set himself ablaze and committed suicide in front of the Hyderabad Archbishop’s house on Saturday morning was identified as Dean Benedict (42), a resident of Vijay Puri Colony in Tarnaka. Benedict had been under financial stress and hence took the extreme step, said an official of the north zone police.
According to B. Sumathi, north zone Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Benedict used to run a battery shop. “His mother-in-law was undergoing treatment for cancer, which is also why he was facing financial difficulties,” she added. On Saturday morning, Benedict had purchased two litres of petrol and burnt himself to death, exactly opposite the DCP’s office around 6 a.m.
He is survived by wife and three children.
