HYDERABAD: In the third such case in a week, a 7-year-old boy from Bowenpally was allegedly sexually assaulted by a hotel worker after he lured him into his room with chocolates. The minor boy, whose father is a retired Army jawan, has allegedly been sexually assaulted at least six times. After the latest incident on Sunday, the victim complained to his parents on Monday. 

“The accused, who lives beside the boy’s home, lured him into his residence when the boy was playing with his friend in front of his house and molested him,” Bowenpally police station house officer P Vijay Kumar told Express, adding that the police came to know of the incident only on Wednesday. “After the boy revealed the incident to his parents, they thrashed him,” Kumar added. The accused and his three roommates are absconding, and the police are on the lookout for all of them because they don’t know which of them is the main accused. “The accused could be anyone among Anil, Dhananjaya, Sunil and Pratap,” he said. 

Khader bagh rape
Earlier in the week, a 12-year-old boy was found murdered in a secluded area near his residence in the Khader Bagh area of Mehdipatnam. The body was half-naked when he was found. He was allegedly raped by his juvenile friend who had earlier threatened to kill him, alleged Syed Afroz, the boy’s father. 
On Friday, SHO of Langer Houz police station C Anjaiah said the post-mortem report confirmed that the boy had been raped before he was  killed. He also clarified that no other person was involved in the incident. The boy had left home for madrasa in the morning but neither reached the madrassa nor returned home in the evening. 

16-yr-old ‘raped’ in Barkas
A few days after a 16-year-old boy from Barkas had allegedly been raped by an older man in a secluded area of his locality, the Chandrayangutta police on Friday arrested a person in connection with the case and produced him in court. Police said Shaik Sayeed Bawazeer of Barkas, a repeat offender, allegedly raped his neighbour who had gone to his place to give him some food.

“Bawazeer showed him porn videos and forcibly performed sexual intercourse  without concern.” The boy, reeling under trauma, could not divulge the incident to his parents. The very next day, Bawazeer again allegedly attempted to rape him but the boy managed to escape. The same thing happened on July 2 when the boy was asked to deliver biryani at the accused’s place. Again the boy managed to escape and the incident came to light after that.
