Police send woman to hospital after she complained of domestic-violence
On May 2, the woman approached the Banjara Hills police station to complain against her husband who beat her. The police sent her to OGH for treatment. ACP Sultan Bazaar, Dr. Chetana Mylabathula said the accused, Nagaraju told her she was creating a ruckus while she was narrating her story to a stranger. He, then, escorted her to a secluded area and raped her.
Nagaraju told home guard about act
"Later he told the home guard who was posted at the OGH police outpost about it. The latter allegedly assured Nagaraju that he will not escalate the information but will rather hush up the issue," said Mylabathula.
Ear-ring of accused helped police nab him
Though Nagaraju threatened the woman of dire consequences if she reported the incident, she fearlessly approached the Azalgunj police station. The survivor said she didn't remember his face, but revealed he wore an ear-ring, that aided police in cracking the case. A case under IPC Sections 376 (Rape) and 116 (Abatement of offense punishable with imprisonment) was registered.
