Bantwal, May 5: It is learnt that out of two persons accused of raping a ninth standard student from Kolpe in Idkidu village near Vittal has fled to Dubai. Relatives of the girl claim that the other accused, who had posed threats of dire consequences to the victim in case she reveals what had happened, is also making hectic preparations to leave the country.

Bakuta Basheer from Bobbekeri in Vittal Casba village, who had been working earlier in Dubai, is learnt to have left the country. He is one of the accused in the rape of minor girl on April 18 this year.
Jabbar from Karyady in Kula village, who had reportedly threatened the girl of throwing acid at her face to permanently distort it, and kill her if she failed to keep her rape under wraps, is also making elaborate preparations to fly out of the country, relatives of the girl say.
In the meantime, it is being thought that the chances of Radhukatte Basheer, who is already facing some motor bike theft cases, escaping to a foreign country are remote, because of his criminal records and the fact he does not possess a passport as of now.
However, Vittal station house officer, Raghavendra T R, has denied the above information. He dismissed the information about the escape of the rape accused as mere rumour, insisting that the police have launched an operation to find out the culprits and arrest them. In the meantime, the girl’s relatives, who stand by the veracity of their information, have requested the police to seize the passport from Jabbar and stop him from leaving for Dubai.
