HYDERABAD: A 24-year-old techie moved the Telangana State Human Rights Commission (TSHRC) alleging negligence by Madhapur police against a complaint lodged in February. According to the complaint, she said she was drugged by her friend M Ramulu and his friends. Then, they kidnapped her, but the police reportedly registered a missing case and closed it without recording her statements, it added.

Based on the complaint, the SHRC admitted her petition and served notices to the police, asking them to submit a report. Meanwhile, the police, denying the allegations, said they registered a case on her complaint and followed due procedure in the probe and closed the case.

In February, when she went to meet him, Ramulu along with his friend, forcefully snatched her mobile phone and took her to their room on his bike.

On reaching the room, when she felt uneasy, they gave her some gum for consumption. After that she became unconscious. Later, they reportedly took her to a place near Tank Bund and forced her to marry Ramulu and warned her of dire consequences if she didn’t agree to marry him.
