Woman kidnapped, raped by private financiers

VIJAYWADA: A Scheduled Caste woman was allegedly kidnapped and raped by some private financiers of Vijayawada after her husband failed to repay
the amount taken from them.

The incident came to light after the woman escaped from the clutches of the kidnappers and reached police station in the late hours of Thursday. A case has been registered at Tadepalli police station in Guntur district and the woman had been sent for medical examination.

According to information, one Tumma Kanakarao of Tadepalli SC colony was a small honey seller in the area. He reportedly duped a financier-Ramanaiah of Chittinagar in Vijayawada in the guise of giving gold at cheap rate. When Ramanaiah realised that Kanakarao cheated him, he reportedly approached I Kondalu of Tadepalli to collect the amount.

According to the complainant-Nagamani (30), about 10 persons including Ramanaiah and Edukondalu came to her house on Wednesday evening and forcibly taken her away from the house after knowing that her husband was away. They reportedly detained her at an aloof place near Tadepalli. Then, Ramanaih reportedly called the father of Nagamani and asked them to bring Rs 30,000 to get his daughter released. However, he did not respond to the calls as he thought that it could be a plot of his son-in-law to extract money from him.

Vexed with no response from the family members, Ramanaiah and others reportedly left the place by keeping Edukondalu, who helped them in kidnapping the woman as escort late on Wednesday night. However, Edukondalu in the late hours of Wednesday took the woman to an aloof place on the Krishna river and raped her, the complainant said. SI Rajasekhara Reddy said that a case under sections 324, 327, 342, 354, 376 of IPC have been registered against Ramanaiah and Edukondalu.
