“I also gave her ₹ 500 to get some medicines as I had chest pain. But she did not return even after a long time,” he said.
The next morning, her mother lodged a complaint.
“Late in the evening of September 14, the police brought her home but by that time, she was in a semi-conscious state and was not in a position to walk properly,” the woman said.
On repeated questioning, the girl told her mother that she was abducted by two youths.
“She was taken in a car to a hotel, where she was given some injections and was forced to drink cold drinks mixed with some tablets. She was tortured physically and sexually assaulted by the two youths,” the mother claimed, quoting her daughter.
Based on the information given by the girl, the police inspected the two hotels at Nampally where the accused took the girl and sexually assaulted her.
“First, they booked a room at a hotel on the Nampally Station Road on the night of September 12. They gave her a sedative injection and went out. They were also in an inebriated condition. When the hotel staff asked for their ID cards, they refused to give. The following day, when the hotel management insisted that they give their identity cards, they checked out,” a police official familiar with the development said.
Later, at around 9pm on September 13, they checked into another hotel nearby and checked out in the afternoon of September 14.
“Apparently, the accused dropped her near Chaderghat and left the place,” the police official said.
