Hyderabad: Muchitnala Village Revenue Officer (VRO) Chandramohan and his friend Mahesh, who were facing charges of gang rape of a dumb and deaf minor girl at Shamshabad, surrendered in a local court on Thursday.
A minor girl with the help of her relatives lodged a complaint with the Shamshabad police on May 15, alleging that Muchintala VRO Chandramohan and his friends Mahesh, Krishna and Sekhar, had sexually assaulted her about three months ago.
The Shamshabad police booked a case under Nirbhaya Act, POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses) Act and also under SC/ST Atrocities Act and arrested accused Krishna and Sekhar the next day.
On Thursday, the girl approached State Human Rights Commission and filed a petition stating that the police were not investigating her case seriously and was delaying the arrest of the accused VRO and his friend Mahesh.
Later in the day, VRO Chandramohan and Mahesh reportedly surrendered in a local court. The court has remanded the accused in judicial custody.
