TUTICORIN: A college lecturer and three of his friends were arrested by the police for raping a minor girl for over three years. The lecturer had intimidated the girl with her nude photographs and video, which were taken after sedating her.
The arrested were identified as R Arun of Rajiv Nagar in Kovilpatti, his friends Sugumaran and Ayyappan, also from Kovilpatti and Ramkumarfrom Karimedu in Madurai. Police have seized the mobile phones, laptops and memory cards from the four that contained photographs and videos of the girl.
Police said Arun, who was working with a private college in Kovilpatti was also conducting tuition classes for school students. The girl, then studying in 10th standard, joined the tuition classes in 2009. Arun duped the girl and raped her promising to marry her. Since then, Arun has sexually abused her several times. Whenever the girl resisted he had administered her sedatives and raped her.
After a period of time, Arun's friends Sugumaran, Ayyappan and Ramkumar also raped her after administering her sedatives. When the girl threatened to complain about the harassment, Arun showed her the video clippings shot in his mobile phone and blackmailed her that he would upload it in the internet if she went ahead to reveal their acts.
However, one of her relatives learnt about the abuse suffered by the girl and approached Arun demanding the video clippings of the girl shot by him. When he refused to part with them and again threatened of uploading it in the internet, the relative convinced the girl to lodge a police complaint.
Police said that there were nude video clippings and photographs of several women in Arun's laptop and they are probing whether the women were also abused by him.
