BANGALORE: The Rajanakunte police in Bangalore Rural district arrested Manjunath Ramaiah, a 22-year-old supervisor at a chewing gum factory, for allegedly molesting a 7-year-old girl when she went for tuition on July 9.
Ramaiah is a resident of Gudumalahalli near Hesaraghatta and a close relative of the tuition teacher, police said.
The girl is a Class 2 student and Manjunath took her to the terrace where he molested her. The girl would come for tuition every day around 6pm with seven other students and return home at 7.30pm, police said.
On July 9, the teacher left in a hurry as a family member was shifted to hospital. The teacher asked Manjunath to send the students back. "Manjunath sent the others away and asked the victim to stay back. He took her to the terrace and molested her," police said.
The girl ran home and cried before her mother. "Her father took her to a private hospital near Yelahanka and the doctor confirmed the molestation after noticing tell-tale injuries. The father filed a complaint with us," police said.
Rajanakunte police rushed to Manjunath's house and detained him. "During the interrogation, Manjunath confessed to the crime and the victim identified him," police added.
Seventh case in six month
It's the seventh case in which a minor has been sexually abused in and around Bangalore. The list includes the case of French consulate official Pascal Mazurier, who was arrested for allegedly raping his minor daughter. Of the seven victims, two were children of daily wage workers molested by men who worked with their father. In another case, a close family member of a five-year-old girl was detained on molestation charges.Link: 22-year-old man arrested for molesting 7-year-old girl
