Minor girl rape case: Advocate, her son arrested

Police today arrested a LLB student, who allegedly raped his 16-year-old domestic help, and his advocate father for "misbehaving" with her in Chaitanyapuri area here.
The girl, who was working at the house of M Sudhakar Reddy here for the past nine months, was allegedly raped by his 29-year-old son Bharat Kumar Reddy, Assistant Commissioner of Police (L B Nagar Division) P Venugopala Rao said.
Sudhakar, aged about 65 years, also "misbehaved" with the minor girl, he said.
On November 14, based on information provided by a social worker, a group of women went to the advocate's house and rescued the girl.

The victim reported that Bharat had allegedly been raping her for the past two months while his father Sudhakar also "misbehaved" with her.
"They also neglected her nurture and welfare and insisted for compulsory labour against her will and did not allow her to go outside their house," the ACP said based on the complaint lodged.
Following the complaint, a case was registered against the advocate and his son under relevant sections of IPC, Protection of Children from Sexual Offence (POCSO) Act and SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
After the arrest, the father-son duo were produced in a court, police added.
