Bus rape: Police acted swiftly, says SP
MANGALORE: Dakshina Kannada SP SD Sharanappa on Tuesday said that police acted swiftly in the case where a minor girl was raped in a KSRTC sleeper bus.
Sharanappa added that his department launched a manhunt immediately after the kidnap complaint was registered at Vittal police station.
Vittal police had on Monday arrested Nithin, 21, a bus conductor hailing from Punacha village near Bangalore for allegedly raping the dalit girl in a Mangalore-Bangalore KSRTC bus.
Parents of the girl had filed the complaint on July 24 and the girl was traced to Kempegowda bus stand in Bangalore on July 25.
Nithin has been booked under Section 366 (Kidnapping, abducting or inducing woman to compel her marriage, etc), Sections 3, 4 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act and under the provisions of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
The SP said that Vittal police neither showed any laxity in registering the complaint nor failed to take swift action. "The case was taken on priority on the same day. We immediately sent a team headed by a PSI and we could trace both of them without any delay," he added.
The bus conductor befriended the girl six months ago. The day on which the girl went missing, she called up her parents at 7pm and said that she was in Kateel and would return the next day.
When cops called her on the mobile number from which she called her parents, the girl said she was with Nithin. The police team went to Bangalore tracing the mobile signal.
The team later apprehended Nithin at Sixth Cross, Malleswaram.
The accused will be produced in court on Wednesday.

Dalit couple tortured-Police to re-investigate rape case
Rohtak, July 29
With intervention of the state women’s commission, higher police authorities, and the media, the police will reinvestigate the gangrape case of a Dalit woman of Kahnaur village in the district.
The woman and her husband have alleged that they were stripped naked and beaten up by upper-caste residents of their village on July 23. The accused allegedly hammered nails into the woman’s body.
The woman, who was allegedly gangraped by Rohtash and Phool Kunwar about three months ago, was being “pressurised” to withdraw the rape complaint. The police had earlier claimed that the rape complaint was baseless. The state women’s commission vice-president Suman Dahiya today visited the couple in Rohtak. She assured them of help and said legal opinion would be sought in the matter.
