Sri Sathya Sai district Superintendent of Police V. Ratna on Monday said that six people have been arrested in the minor girl’s gangrape and impregnation case while they were making a bid to flee the district.
Speaking to the media here, the SP said that the accused were identified as Achampalli Vardhan (21), Talari Murali (25), Badagarla Nandavardhan Raj (23), Aramcheru Nagaraju (51), Boya Sanjeeva (40), and Budidha Rajanna (49).
She said that based on the statement of the victim and her mother, criminal cases under various sections of the BNS and the POCSO Act were booked against the accused. Special parties were deployed to track down other accused in the case.
The case came to light on Thursday (June 5) from a remote village of Ramagiri mandal, when the neighborhood alerted the police, who swung into action. Following this, the minor girl along with her mother had reportedly left the village fearing threat from the accused. However, the police traced the family and shifted the girl to a government shelter. The accused were produced before the district court, which remanded them.
