A college student from Salcete was allegedly raped by a youth at Sonsodo on Tuesday noon.
The incident occurred when the girl was waiting for the bus in her village to head to college when the accused arrived in a car and offered her a lift. The victim initially refused since she had never seen him nor had ever spoken to him. However, the accused reminded that he had once called her over to his mother’s phone with an offer of permanent friendship and marriage. After finally relenting, the accused took her to a hillock and raped her. He left her behind and later fled in his vehicle.
After walking down hillock, the girl phoned a male college friend to inform that she was not keeping well. On reaching home, the victim narrated the incident to her parents. A complaint was filed at Maina Curtorim police station late Tuesday night, after which the girl was subjected to medical examination at GMC, Bambolim.
Maina Curtorim police have registered a case of rape and is on a lookout for the accused based on the description of the victim. Further investigations are on.
