As the Hyderabad city police is all set to take up investigation into
the gangrape of a Mumbai-based model in Hyderabad, investigators will
begin their probe by taking the victim around the city to know the exact
location where the offence took place. Being new to Hyderabad,
the victim was unable to identify the house where she was gangraped by
four persons. A team of Mumbai police, with whom she lodged a complaint,
is arriving in Hyderabad on Friday to handover the probe to their
counterparts here and also assist them. The 26-year-old
Mumbai-based model, who arrived in Hyderabad on December 30 for
performing on the New Year eve at a city hotel, was picked up by the
accused from the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, driven to an
unknown place where she was gangraped. ‘’The victim was new to the
city and therefore is unable to tell where she was taken by the accused
that night after being given drink laced with sedatives. Once we take
her around, she may be able to lead us to the scene of offence,’’
sources associated with the investigation disclosed. The Versova
senior police inspector Harishachandra Raghunath Parmale told Express
over phone that the investigation officer and assistant police inspector
Vijay Chouhan who received the complaint from the victim and registered
cases left for Hyderabad on Thursday and would hand over the case to
Hyderabad police for further investigation. When contacted,
Hyderabad police commissioner Anurag Sharma told Express that the Mumbai
police has so far not contacted him with regard to the case. ‘’Once the case is transferred to us, we will take up investigation,’’ Sharma added. Sources
said that besides taking the victim around the city to identity the
place where the offence was committed, investigators will also make
enquiries with hotel and resort owners.
