Corroborative evidence in student's rape case found

Efforts on to ascertain if any case of suspicious death was reported in our jurisdiction: RR district SP


HYDERABAD: Special teams of the Hyderabad Detective Department have stumbled upon visuals of the ex-director of Parkwood International School, Mohammed Salahuddin Ayub, misbehaving with some girl students of the school.

The investigators said the visuals were recorded with a mobile phone camera. “This material evidence helps us corroborate the charge of sexual assault on the student though her pictures or visuals were not found in that phone memory,” a police officer involved in the investigation said.

This crucial evidence apart, investigators are relying on the circumstantial evidence that the ex-director accompanied the student to a diagnostic centre in Jubilee Hills to confirm if she was pregnant and to abort the pregnancy if she had conceived.

Not willing to divulge details, the police said they identified persons who had seen the accused bringing the girl to the diagnostic centre.

Takes caution

“However, it seems that he took caution not to walk inside the diagnostic centre. But, at his instance the girl wrote a fictitious name in the centre's record mentioning her age as 21years,” the police said.

During interrogation, the accused reportedly admitted to have accompanied the girl to the diagnostic centre but failed to explain why a woman employee or warden was not sent along with the student.

Meanwhile, parents of other students of the school appealed to the Government not to jeopardise the future of their children by taking over the school.

“Let the law take its own course in the rape case. But that should not affect the future of other students of the same institution. Most of them are in shock and we need everybody's support to come out of this situation,” Muqtar Ahmed, a parent, said at a press conference.

Another parent, Sriram, a software engineer, said: “We're holding a meeting of the parents of the school children on Sunday to discuss the future course of action. But we still believe in the management and their ability to administer the school well,” he observed.
