Telangana police arrest 10 men for luring, gang-raping woman in Jangaon

Telangana police have arrested 10 men for allegedly gang-raping a young woman and have sent them to judicial remand, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Pandari Chetan Nitin said.

The accused, Mohammed Owaisi, Muthyala Pavan Kumar, Bauddhula Shiva Kumar, Nookala Ravi, Jetty Sanjay, Md. Abdul Khayoom, Pustakala Sai Teja, Muttadi Sumanth Reddy, Gunda Sai Charan Reddy, and Oruganti Sai Ram, are all residents of Jangaon town.

Police said the group lured the woman in June under the pretext of love and friendship, took her in a car to a room behind “Tea World” on the Jangaon–Suryapet road, and sexually assaulted her.

One of the accused allegedly took the woman to Goa, claiming to be in love with her, and is reported to have had sexual relations with her multiple times there.

Following a complaint from the victim’s aunt, police registered a case. On Tuesday, after receiving information that the accused were on Siddipet road, CI Damodar Reddy and SI Bharat apprehended them. During interrogation, the accused reportedly confessed to the crime.

They were arrested and produced in court, after which they were remanded to judicial custody, ASP Chetan Nitin said.
