Puttur: Rape attempt accused commits suicide


Daijiworld Media Network – Puttur (RJP)

Puttur, Oct 7: A rape attempt accused committed suicide by consuming acid on Monday.

The deceased had attempted rape on a teenager relative on Sunday which was foiled by the resistance and courage shown by the victim in Urejalu near Nelyadi.

When all the people from the house had gone to church for Sunday mass, the victim aged 19, remained at home since she was not keeping well. D C Varghese the relative of the victim, who stayed in the same vicinity, entered the house by breaking the latch of the rear door. Then he took her forcibly to the nearby forest behind the house.

The victim foiled the rape attempt by fighting with the culprit. Ultimately she was threatened with dire consequences if she revealed about the incident to others. The accused even said that he filmed the attempt and would upload it in the internet. The family members who returned home after the mass heard about the incident from the victim and informed the police.

Uppinangady police after registering the case were on the lookout for the accused. They only had the information that he was still in the forest. With the help of the locals they searched the forest not to find him. Later on Monday they discovered that he visited his house to take a can of acid which is used in the making of rubber sheets. In the evening when the accused was surrounded, he threatened to spray acid on the police and ran away again. But somehow he managed to consume the acid when he came to know that he was overpowered. Efforts were made to save him but he died in the hospital.

It is learnt that the deceased had some theft cases registered against him. Uppinangady police are investigating further.

    19 year old 'normal' girl was dragged into a 'forest' at daytime and the accused tried to do the 'dirty' act along with threats of filming, threatening, etc. etc. without anybody witnessing sounds doubtful on the face of it!!

    Secondly, he being a relative they could have very well confronted him and his family, rebuked, and warned the accused of his dirty intentions before going to the authorities!!

    The above is just a personal opinion!!

    Why the accused taken her to forest while no one at home. Possibly with consent she went. Certainly this is love affair turned into tragedy.

    Sex is an essential part for any living being specially when in youth. And when sexual desires overpowers one's own control then he/she can go to an extent which is neither natural nor social.
    Death by drinking acid is a very painful & agonizing death...

    Just verbal statement by ' victim' without concrete evidence ' is enough to file FIR resulting in more and more false cases. A 19 year grown up adult woman dragged into forest !? , and filming the incident !? Difficult to believe !!. Clearly looks consented relationship but woman switched sides upon pressure.

    I hope the boy dealt it accordingly instead of suicide. Tough but could have been a way out.
