MEDICAL STUDENT KIDNAPPED,GANG-RAPED IN KARNATAKA'S MANIPAL
The 22-year-old student was dragged into an autorickshaw by three persons on
a road near the
pharmacology college campus.
MANGALORE: Shock spread through the education town of
Manipal on Friday as news spread of the abduction and
alleged rape of a fourth-year MBBS student by three miscreants when she was on her way to her room, just 1 km from the library complex on Thursday
night.
The 22-year-old student from Thiruvananthapuram was dragged into an autorickshaw by three persons on a road near the pharmacology college campus.The police came to know about
the incident by 1.15am after an engineering student saw three persons dragging a woman into an auto. The girl dropped her purse during the scuffle and the engineering student came to know about her identity from it and informed campus security.
After a futile search, they informed the police.
The girl returned to Manipal at 3.30am even as police were
searching for her. The Kasturba Medical College Estate officer
lodged the complaint of rape with the Manipal police station.
Udupi superintendent of police MB Boralingaiah told TOI, "It's not clear whether she was dropped
off by the abductors or she managed to come back on her
own. The girl is in a state of shock and her statements are
incoherent."
Regarding the miscreants, the SP
said, "The area where the incident occurred did not have CCTV cameras. We examined our footage and we did not see any vehicle of that description passing by. The university CCTV cameras have some footage and
we're examining it."
The girl cannot recall where she was taken, he said, adding. "We
haven't got the medical report,but the estate officer filed a
report of rape.''
A university official said, "We're concerned about the safety of our students. We'll hold a meeting soon to discuss to see
how best students who staying outside can be protected from
such incidents.''
The source added that student hostels are located just beside
the library and students who don't stay at the hostel have
rented apartments behind the library complex, just 1 km away.
