Bantwal, March 25: The Bantwal and Vittal cops under a joint operation on Tuesday, March 24th, have arrested a man who was accused of threatening a girl of her life, who had been raped earlier.
The arrested man has been identified as Jabbar (30) resident of Karyadi in Kula village.
It is gathered that, when a fourteen year old girl from Kolpe, Urimajalu in Idkidu village was buying mobile phone currency at Vittal, a married man named Bobbekeri Basheer had obtained her cell phone number. Later, he had established contact with her by calling her cell phone, and had succeeded in convincing her about his good intentions.
Last year, on April 18th, he had invited her to his house and took her by a car. A person named Basheer was already in the car, who was known for theft of motor bikes. The duo had taken the girl to an isolated area near Madikeri, before raping her.
After returning home, bike thief, Abdul Basheer, a resident of Radhukatte Kodangayi in Vittal Padnoor village, had called her, and made her believe that he intended to marry her, asked her to visit him, and raped her again.
It is learnt that Abdul Basheer was already married. Later, Jabbar, on learning about these incidents called the girl, and asked her to accompany him, if failed he said that, he would kill her. Later, the girl had filed a police complaint on April 23rd, 2014. Meanwhile, the accused had gone missing.
Cops, who got the information that Abdul Basheer from Radhukatte, and Bobbekeri Basheer from Vittal Casba village were in Jamnagar, and Dwarka districts of Gujarat, went there on May 17th– 2014, with the permission of the superintendent of police, and brought both of them here on May 20th. On the same day they were produced before the court.
But, Jabbar had succeeded in deceiving the cops.
Though the cops got information that he was somewhere near Thiruvananthapuram, but there was no clear information about his actual whereabouts.
This week, the cops got information that Jabbar, was in Karnataka and had taken up truck driving work.
In a joint operation led by Bantwal police circle inspector, Belliappa, and Vittal police sub-inspector, Rakshit, the local cops and Vittal police stations succeeded in arresting Jabbar.
