Defendant told police that it happened when the dog ran away when asked about the bruises on the defendant’s body. The accused pleaded guilty during interrogation, including CCTV footage.
The incident happened on Monday, October 25th. The girl was attacked on an unoccupied road. On the way from the house to the main road, the girl was dragged about 50 meters from behind with her mouth and nose covered. He then pushed her into a banana plantation and tried to rape her. After tying the child’s hands, the accused hit the child in the face with a stone. The girl fled on horseback and climbed into the next house and escaped.
“The girl was trembling with fear. Her clothes were torn. She was able to say something comforting for a long time. Then we took a shower, changed her clothes and took her to the hospital,” said Fatima, a local teacher. “The boy said he was somewhere nearby. He was white, fat, and had no mustache or beard,” she added.
Farooq, a local councilor who is also a local, said that nothing like this has happened here in the region for so long. “It’s really shocking. As far as I can tell, everyone here is familiar. Police are collecting CCTV footage of nearby places.
He took the initiative to take the girl to the hospital. The injured girl sought treatment at Kondotty Taluk Hospital and later at Manjeri Medical College.
“The child is injured. But now there is no cause for concern. There is no information that anyone has molested the girl before,” he said.
