Madikeri: Humiliation of men ends up in rape and murder of girl


Daijiworld Media Network - Madikeri (SP)

Madikeri, Feb 14: A girl student, who went missing under mysterious circumstances ten days back, was found to have been kidnapped, raped, and murdered. Her body was found from a spot near a coffee plantation.

The police personnel of Kodagu district have succeeded in cracking the case in which the said girl had gone missing from Yemmegundi Estate. They have arrested two men, who have been accused of raping the girl, killing her, and concealing her body behind a huge boulder.

The arrested men have been identified as Ranjith and Sandeep, labourers of Assam origin. They have been accused of forcibly taking the girl away to an adjacent plantation, raping her there, killing her, and then hiding her body.

Both Ranjith and Sandeep work for Karadikadu Estate near Siddapur.

The girl, who was the daughter of Chandru, working for Tata coffee plantation at Siddapur, was a second PU student. When she was returning from her college at Nelyahudikeri at around 3.30 pm on February 4, the girl had gone missing all of a sudden from near a pond near her home. At the time she went missing, she was speaking to a relative employed at Mumbai named Kishore over phone. Kishore heard the call getting cut, and the girl raising an alarm as if someone was abducting her. He immediately informed the girl's family, who searched for her but failed to get any clue. Pressure had thereafter mounted on the police to find out the whereabouts of the girl. A protest had also been held.

A complaint about the abduction of a girl from Yemmegundi Estate was registered in Siddapur police station. The district superintendent of police (SP), Dr Suman D Pannekar, formed special investigation teams under the guidance of deputy superintendent of police, Sundar Raj. The police, who undertook probe, subjected labourers working in the region to intensive questioning. During this period, Ranjith confessed that he and Sandeep had kidnapped the girl on February 4 in order to take revenge against her for insulting them. It is said that a fight had broken out between these two men and the girl student sometime back during which the girl had insulted them. They raped her, and killed her by tightening a rope around her neck, as they feared that she would reveal what had happened, said SP Dr Suman Pannekar, addressing a press meet on Wednesday.

Sandeep was later taken into custody and he too agreed that he was behind the crime. The body was found to have been hidden near a boulder at Kallagudda located little below Lord Ganapathi temple at Yemmegundi Estate.

The operation was conducted by Siddapur police sub-inspector, Dayanand, Madikeri circle inspector, Anoop Madappa, inspector of district crime intelligence bureau, M Mahesh, who headed different teams, under the guidance of deputy superintendent of police, Sundar Raj, and directions of the superintendent of police.

    I repeat, number of police personnel needs to be increased and there needs to be police posts in villages, interior places as well for quick actions in case of distress situations. There is a good employment creation scope and opportunity here for the Government.

    Nothing will happen by increasing the police force, only corruption will increase.

    Our police men behave like they are the masters! What is required is revision of outdated Indian penal code, and mentality of policemen.

    For this extensive training to policemen, revision of their salaries, better living conditions for them and their families, free education to their kids must be given.

    They must be punished severely for their crime. They took revenge for insulting them is only an eyewash to escape.

    Nowadays people are getting labourers from Assam, Orissa etc. without doing any background checks. They do not bother to register these outstation people at the local police station.I have seen labourers from Orissa (maybe bangladeshi's) in farms in our district too. When people do not register them at the local police station they are asking for trouble.

    All out state laborers address should be verified in their concerned police station just as in passport verification... criminals should not be given employment outside their state.
