BANGALORE/TUMKUR: A deputy director of women and child welfare department in Tumkur was accused of allegedly raping a woman who runs an institute for special children in Tumkur. S Radhakrishna was taken into custody by Yelahanka police on Saturday.
"We are questioning him," police said. A complaint was lodged by Gangamma, 40, a widow and resident of Mahalakshmipuram near Basavadi in Tumkur. She runs Spandana School for Mentally Disabled with 100 special children. She claimed the deputy director had promised to get her grants from the government and had been asking her to accompany him to various places.
In the complaint lodged on Friday, she said he had taken her to Narayana Comforts, a hotel near Kogilu Cross in Yelahanka on April 12 where he raped her. Gangamma has a daughter and a son and has been running the school for the past decade. She stays on the first floor of the school building. There are five teachers in the school.
"She had met the deputy director several times in the past five months. We took her to Ambedkar Medical College for a medical examination. We can prove her charges only after collecting circumstantial evidence by checking with the hotel where she claims to have gone with Radhakrishna on April 12. There are other places she had gone and stayed with him and we will also get the details of their stay in these places," a police officer, investigating the case, told STOI.
Her complaint stated that she had gone out with him in the interest of running the institute in a better way. "But in recent times, his harassment had become intolerable resulting in her filing the complaint," police said quoting her statement. "She has alleged that Radhakrishna had promised more grants for the school according to the number of children but failed to deliver, which irked her," the officer said. Repeated attempts by STOI to contact Radhakrishna failed as he had switched off his phone. In his statement before police, he confessed to having a relationship with Gangamma but denied having raped her.
