Mangaluru: Cloth seller sentenced to 10 years RI for rape, impregnation of employee


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (MS)

Mangaluru, June 23: The Additional Sessions and FTSC-2 court sentenced a man accused of sexually harassing and impregnating a girl employee of the cloth shop owned by him, to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) and slapped a fine of Rs 60,000.

Abdul Latif alias Ichha (42), a resident of Kandavara village is the convict.

Abdul Latif owned Fatima Dress Collections outlet at Kaikamba of Tenka Ulepadi village. A girl had joined for work in his shop. In April 2017, one afternoon the girl complained of a headache. Abdul Latif bought her a glass of juice and gave her a tablet saying it's for headache. However, as soon as the girl consumed the juice and tablet, she fell unconscious. Abdul had intercourse with the girl.

After the girl regained consciousness, he threatened her not to reveal the matter to anyone stating that he had made a video of the whole act which he would post on social media. Abdul raped the girl repeatedly afterwards due to which she got pregnant.

In the fourth month of her pregnancy, the girl filed a complaint at Bajpe police station on August 11, 2017. Later she gave birth to a baby. The DNA examination confirmed that the accused Abdul Latif is the father of the child.

Justice K M Radhakrishna sentenced Abdul Latif to 10 years of RI and slapped on him a fine of Rs 50,000 fine under column 6 of POCSO Act and one year of normal imprisonment and Rs 10,000 fine for threatening the victim.

Though a case was filed on Geetha, who also used to work in the shop, on the accusation of helping the convict, she was acquitted as the prosecution could not prove her guilt.

Special public prosecutor C Venkatarama Swamy argued for the prosecution. Inspectors P D Nagaraj, Parashiva Murthy and K R Nayak had submitted a chargesheet to the court.

    Because culprit is not ready to agree that he is the father of that child or he is the cause of her pregnancy. What she can do ? Enjoyed both you said.....Yes both of them enjoyed (who knows ? By force ? Blackmail?) Now, she has to suffer by carrying his stomach? Now she has reached to a stage without complaining she cannot do anything. She needs shelter....

    Because culprit is not ready to agree that he is the father of that child or he is the cause of her pregnancy-- How do you know this? Did culprit reveled this to anyone? According to me both are enjoyed till she becomes pregnant. When she got pregnant she got scared and no other option remains except to complain.

    How you know she got scared and left with no option ? How you know both enjoyed willingly? Pregnancy can happen by threatening/blackmail also especially if girl is from weak... Before complaining she must have approached the culprit with her problem.....Why he didnt solve the problem? Where she will carry their child and survive ?? If both enjoyed, why she should suffer alone ? Suffering should be shared by the two

    in this story...the girl is as guilty as the man...she is not a minor for sure as the punishment would have been much severe had she been...if the girl had told after the so called juice laced first encounter or just taken some tablet she could have saved the ordeal of getting pregnant and all this nonsense...i think there is more than what meets the eye....anyway good that he is sentenced...he too should have taken precautions...but the society will not improve..these kind of kusur pusur cases keep on happening...
