MYSORE: A 20-year-old boy from Bellary, who has been accused of physically abusing a minor girl, is now cooling his heels in jail.

Krishna Nayak, 20, has been charged with illegal detention, rape and kidnap under the IPC.

The 16-year-old victim, who also hails from Bellary and knew the accused closely, told police that Krishna kidnapped her from her workplace near Bannur in mid-January and took her to an isolated place where he forcibly confined her to a room for a month. Her family had filed a kidnap complaint on January 15 when she failed to come home.

According to the victim, Krishna abused her physically daily but she somehow managed to escape from his custody and reached Bannur on Sunday and explained the incident to her brothers. Later, they filed a complaint against him.

A group of labourers including the girl's family and the accused from Bellary had migrated to Mysore few months ago and were working as agricultural labourers at Thuraganur village in Bannur police limits.

The victim escaped from the mega poultry farm a few days ago and went to her native place, Hoskote, but disclosed the incident to her family members on Sunday.

Police investigation revealed that Krishna lied to the poultry farm owner that the girl was his wife and stayed there for a month.
