An engineering student from Puducherry, after luring his 15-year-old ex-lover to his friend’s apartment, drugged and raped her while she was unconscious along with two of his other friends.

Naresh (19), who hails from Puducherry’s Navarkulam, was in love with the 15-year-old girl. After a brief period of seeing each other, the girl apparently decided to call it quits. Naresh, who was enraged by the development, threatened to expose the intimate pictures they had taken together while dating, to the girl’s parents. Later, he invited her to meet him at his friend’s place under the pretext of solving their issues. The unsuspecting girl, who showed up at Naresh’s friend’s place, was offered a cold drink that was spiked by them. She fell unconscious, following which Naresh and his friends, Raja (32) and Suriya (21), took turns to rape the girl.

The girl’s parents, who got worried when their daughter didn’t show up past 8 pm, filed a complaint at the local police station. A few minutes later, the girl showed up at the house in an intoxicated state with tears flowing down her eyes. After she narrated the incident to the police, they tracked down the accused men and arrested them. The victim has been admitted to a government hospital, where she is currently being treated.
