Told my friends that I killed my girlfriend
Raju calls his friends and tells them that he has killed his girlfriend and is committing suicide. After this the friends informed the police. After the information, the police reached Raju’s house and saw the body of the minor. Raju was missing from home. The next day, the police caught him attempting suicide near the Yeshwantpur railway track.
In this case, public prosecutor P Krishnaveni said, ‘When the girl was alone at home during the lockdown, Raju had physical relations with her on the pretext of marriage. When the minor would return early from school, he would take her home. CCTV camera was installed in front of Raju’s house so he used to go inside the house through the back door. In those days Raju repeatedly raped the girl despite her protest.
When the girl’s parents came to know about her relationship, they forbade her to meet Raju. “On April 3, 2021, Raju called up the girl and threatened to die if she did not meet him. Then, he forcefully took the girl to his house where he strangulated her with an aluminum wire.”
