Bangalore: Rape in convent: Suspects wrote threatening words on victim's leg


Bangalore, Jul 18 (DHNS): The men, who raped a 15-year-old girl after rendering her unconscious at the Sisters of Holy Nativity seminary in Hennur on Wednesday, scribb­led a chilling message on her left leg, below the knee: “If you do not give money, we will publish your photos.” The incident has shocked the residents of Bairaweshari Nagar in Hennur Bannde, where the seminary is located. They complained of lack of police patrolling in the area.

Shobha, a resident, said, “Of late, we have not seen police patrolling the area. This particular incident has worried us about our younger ones. The area is isolated and there is not much movement of people during most part of the day.”

There is a huge vacant land, just 100 metres from the seminary where the girl was raped. The land is used for all kinds of illegal activities, said Emanuel (name changed), who stays close to the house of the sisters. “The construction labourers of a nearby apartment create a lot of nuisance. Once when my wife went to spread clothes on the terrace, the labourers hooted and whistled at her. After the day’s work, they are seen loitering around in gangs.”

The resident also mentioned that for the last few weeks, many men and women, who claim to be from north India, were doing rounds, knocking on the gates of the houses for donation. “When we ask them why they are collecting money, they keep quiet.

When any woman attends to them, they ask such questions as ‘Are you alone at home?’ Or ‘When will the people in the house get back?’,” he said. Other residents spoke up against the ruckus created by foreign students living in the locality. “We cannot talk about that problem as it’s a sensitive issue,” they said.

A member of Bairaweshari Nagar Residents’ Welfare Association said, “Beat constables used to make an entry in the register but now the practice has been stopped; sometimes we spot the constables doing rounds. We need more intense monitoring of the area.”

DCP (East) Satish Kumar told Deccan Herald that the police patrolling in the area would be increased and the force would do everything to prevent untoward incidents. In the wake of the large number of foreign students living in the locality, the officer spoke of plans to make it mandatory for foreign nationals to report to the local police station before renting a house. The house owner should also inform the police about the tenants, he said.

The rape victim, who hails from Chintalapudi town in West Godavari, Andhra Pradesh, is being treated at a hospital. “Once she is in a position to talk, we will gather information from her about the strangers. Two special teams have been formed to nab the culprits,” a police officer said.

    65% police constables are hard working and honest where as 35% are lazy and corrupt.
    The higher authorities should identify these 35% culprits who spoil the name of the whole department.
    Contractors of the construction site should have a log book with the details of the labourers hired and their permanent address details so that the police can check these information at regular interval and even the police should cross check the information provided by these labour force.
    The social workers and the social organisations should visit the construction sites and try to open a play school in the construction site for the small children and encourage grown the importance of education and put them in their nearby schools.
    Let those jobless local bullies engage in some constructive work of this kind.
    Jai Hind!

    People,

    Enough is enough, we cannot take this any more...

    Karnataka needs major surgery for its Police force...starting from top...all SPs and above level officers should be moved out of their current positions and new ones should be given 90 days time to control law and order...

    I think this should happen with Home Minister too,,, give him some other department...possible choices are Excise, Forest, whatever...its proved beyond any doubts that he is incapable to handle his current department...

    This Government increase the time of bars thinking it has no consequences...like cat drinking milk by closing its eyes...

    A CM and ministers sleeping in the house during assembly session regularly,,, what message it sends to public??? What these morons doing during night???

    But surprising Factor is why did the Nuns Erase these wordings(According to the statement given by the victim to the Police as per TV9 Last night.), if its true why not keep it for some evidence ? Was it in English ? Were it really some north Indian Laborers in that case ? or Inside hand ?

    It is useless to blame anyone, it is what we sow and now reaping the fruits. Politicians are using these people even some educated, we are unable to understand tacits and evil designs they use. Rakshana sabes, Jagran sabes, summer camps... all are poising mind with the an ideology, we send our children and we ourselves attend, listen and come back without any reflection and we start to believe that we are in danger so destroy others, first i destroy others and it has reached our own footstep..if we go on blaming cong. BJP no one bothers you and me...awake, think, reflect...and then act...

    Hey Martis,
    People like you and your folks are nothing but absolute hypocrites!!! I need not say this as whole nation know it very well but I do want to take here an opportunity to say that, its just a month old for BJP rule and we are seeing rape and sexual assaults in UP, Delhi and Northern parts since long back during Congress Rule!!! Why you people always blame BJP though there are countless issues and chaos in Congress administration??? 2014 results was like a slap to people like you and it seems still you people didn't learn a lesson!!! Congress did all sort of manipulative cheap acts of minority appeasements and blunders but still they could not win because todays citizens are democratically aware (except people like you) and so BJP won. Please have some mindfull thoughts before you your comments.

    People are good in talking but not proposing any solutions...
    Can Government provide one police for one person? Impossible
    Can Government install CCTV camera all over Karnataka? Impossible
    Can Government convert the mind of criminals? Impossible
    Can Government bring strict law? Impossible as no willpower
    Can we legalize Moral Policing?
    PSEUDOS do not allow it to happen

    Rapist like mosquitoes...
    You can not eradicate them...
    How we use mosquito net, similarly you have to make protection for yourself...
    Sorry to say this... but it is a fact

    Even if you do not agree with me today, definitely have to agree tomorrow or whenever your dearest undergoes rape...

    RSRB, Kundapura / Singapore,
    You are right , But for the Law ,when a criminal is encountered or given death sentence we have so called as human rights these blessed peole start fighting,
    Encounter polices have political problems.
    next we have Lawyers who will fight for this guy to show him innocent,The Lawyer is doing his daily bread.
    We cant bring law according to gulf countries. In quick time case finished & he is shot in public or hanged.
    What can they do,.
    So best is when the person is caught & brought to the court 100 person public should enter & just smash the guy.

    I bet people have to set up their own block level security system and question any alien visiting their block. Not like BD, vhp, sene style.

    For many reasons police cannot keep a watch on us
