Girl subjected to incestuous assault

Victim’s own brother and cousin were indulging in crime for past few years

In a horrific incident, a 20-year-old girl, an MBBS aspirant, was allegedly sexually assaulted by her brother and cousin many times over the past few years in Kothagudem. The episode came to light late on Tuesday night after the victim, a resident of the mines rescue station area in the coal town, lodged a complaint with the Two Town police about her ordeal at the hands of her ‘brothers turned sexual predators’. Hours after an FIR was lodged based on her complaint, the victim’s cousin, a software professional, allegedly committed suicide by hanging at his house in Kothagudem in the early hours of Wednesday, sources said. The victim endured the sexual violence and mental trauma for months in silence as the two accused threatened to kill her if she informed about it to anyone. When the victim reported the matter to her mother and parents of her cousin, they allegedly turned a deaf ear.
