Mangaluru: FIR against Lokayukta SPP Rajesh over allegations of rape attempt on law student
Mangaluru: The Mangaluru Lokayukta Division’s Special Public Prosecutor K. S. N Rajesh has been reportedly accused of attempting rape against a female law student. The victimized law student has filed an FIR in this regard at the Pandeshwar Women’s Police station, it is learned.
The 20-year-old victim, who is a law student from Mangaluru, had joined advocate K. S. N. Rajesh’s Karangalpady office for training on August 8. Amid this, Rajesh had tried to persuade the young woman to engage in physical relations with him. In the complaint, the victim has accused that Rajesh had called her into his chamber on September 25 and behaved indecently towards her and later attempted to rape her, it is learned.
K S N Rajesh had been working as the Special Government Prosecutor for the past several years and was in charge of handling corruption cases that were registered in the Lokayukta. He had been reportedly appointed as the government-assigned prosecutor to argue in favour of the victims of corruption in cases registered with the Lokayukta. Because of this, Rajesh had earned a respectable place in Mangaluru.
An audio recording of the alleged phone conversation between the law student and Rajesh had surfaced in the public sphere two days ago. In the interaction, he is heard persuading her to come to the office and assuring her of not repeating previous actions. He is also heard pleading and requesting her to leave the matter and end it right there, it is learned.
