According to the Medipally police, the accused, Somashekar, befriended the victim last year and assured her of a job. The victim’s husband, a former RTC employee, died in 2013.
The accused provided the victim with a fake ID card and salary slip and told her that she had bagged a job. He then offered her a box of sweets, laced with sedatives. When the victim fell unconscious, he allegedly raped her.
The police registered a case and arrested Somashekar on Tuesday.
