Moodbidri lecturers accused of raping student; Three arrested in Bengaluru
Moodbidri: Two lecturers from a Moodbidri-based college and their friend have been arrested in Bengaluru on charges of repeatedly raping a female student. The arrests were made following a complaint filed by the survivor at the Marathahalli Police Station. According to the complaint, the accused developed closeness with the student under the guise of sharing academic notes. This was followed by blackmail and repeated sexual assaults. The arrested have been identified as Narendra, a physics lecturer; Sandeep, a biology lecturer; and their friend Anoop.
The initial abuse began when Narendra allegedly befriended the student by offering notes and maintaining regular communication through chats. Even after the student moved to Bengaluru, Narendra continued the contact and eventually took her to his friend’s rented room in Marathahalli, where he is said to have raped her. He then reportedly threatened her to remain silent.
Following this, Sandeep, the biology lecturer, attempted to sexually assault the student. When she resisted, he allegedly blackmailed her using photos and videos from the previous incident and then proceeded to rape her. ### Friend Also Implicated The flat where the second assault took place belonged to Anoop. After the incident, he too contacted the student and allegedly threatened her, claiming the CCTV footage showed her visiting his room. He then raped her as well, according to the complaint.
Initially too afraid to report the abuse, the student eventually confided in her parents as the situation worsened. Her parents took her to the Women’s Commission, where she received counseling and subsequently filed a formal police complaint.
Marathahalli Police have arrested all three accused and have launched an in-depth investigation. Preliminary findings suggest that the accused lecturers may have similarly targeted other students in the past. Further inquiries are ongoing.
