Five cops suspended for gang-raping Hyderabad sex workers

Syed Amin Jafri in Hyderabad

Five police personnel, who were arrested by the Hyderabad police for the gang rape of two sex workers, have been placed under suspension.

Police Commissioner M L Kumawat said the five have been arrested and remanded to judicial custody.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Zone P V Sunil Kumar probed into the incident and recommended action against them.

The constables -- Shaik Mahbub Basha, P Ranga Redy, S K N Mirawali of Saidabad police station, B Krishnan Raju of Malakpet police station and A Vishwanath Yadav of City Armed Reserve police -- were taken into custody by Saidabad police after one of the victims had lodged a complaint.

Malakpet division Assistant Commissioner of Police K Timmappa said the erring constables raided a flat at Indraprastha colony on November 24 on a "tip-off". A pimp, two sex workers and two customers were present in the flat.

The constables extorted Rs 32,000 from the pimp, two customers and the two sex workers. They consumed liquor in the brothel and later gangraped the sex workers after threatening that they would be booked for prostitution.

Following a complaint from one of the victims, the police officials began a probe. A team comprising two inspectors and four sub-inspectors traced one of the sex worker, who was sent for medical examination.
