New Delhi: Indian Cricket Team’s captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday called for Justice for Manisha Valmiki, a 20-year-old Dalit girl who was brutally raped earlier this month. Manisha succumbed to her injuries in a Delhi hospital on Tuesday morning.

The woman had suffered multiple fractures, paralysis and a deep gash in her tongue in the savage assault compared by many to the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape.

The incident that has shocked the country was condemned widely on Tuesday across social media platforms after the girl breathed her last on Tuesday. #JusticeForManishaValmiki was top trending on Twitter with nearly two lakh tweets at the time of posting this report.

Skipper Virat Kohli also took to twitter and condemned the incident and called it “inhumane” and said it goes beyond cruelty. He also hoped that the culprits of the heinous crime will be brought to justice.

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.
