A 17-year-old student from Konawatla village, Raichur district, Karnataka, was studying in her first year in a hostel in a private college. Ramesh, who is the principal of this college, has also been the warden of the hostel. In this situation, on the night of February 3, a student from Konawatla village was hanged in her room.
Shocked to see this, the students informed the Lingasugur police station. The police who came quickly recovered the body of the student and sent it for post-mortem. Also, a case of suicide was registered and the police were investigating.
In this situation, the parents of the dead student filed a complaint at the police station saying that their daughter did not commit suicide and that her death was mysterious. They also staged a demonstration in front of the college gate. In this situation, the post-mortem report of the student revealed that she had been raped and murdered, and the case of suicide was converted into a case of murder and the investigation was carried out.
Then it came to light that Ramesh, the principal of the college and hostel warden, called the concerned student to his room and sexually harassed her frequently. He also threatened the student not to tell about this matter. Due to this, the student has decided to study her second year in another college.
Due to this, on the day of the incident, the principal of the college, Ramesh, invited the student to his room and raped her. It was revealed during the investigation that he killed the student and took the body to the student’s room and hanged it to make it look like suicide. In this situation, the principal of the college, Ramesh, went into hiding. He was arrested last night in Bijapur while the police were looking for him. He is being interrogated to see if anyone else is involved in the murder. The incident of rape and murder of a student by the principal of the college has created a stir in Raichur district.
