A new twist has emerged in the alleged gang rape case linked to a villa party in Bengaluru, where one of the accused claims the 19-year-old college student attempted extortion by alleging he assaulted her after a party night.
A recent gang rape case in Bengaluru has taken a surprising turn, with claims from one of the accused that the 19-year-old college student, who filed the complaint, attempted to extort money from him. This incident occurred following a villa party in an upscale neighborhood of Bengaluru. According to police records, one of the accused had reported to the police beforehand, stating that the student and an associate had threatened him for money after he allegedly declined her advances. The police are now balancing various accounts to unearth the truth behind the events of the night in question.
The complaint alleges that during the party, the student shared personal issues and sought close interaction, which the accused found inappropriate. The situation escalated when, after the party concluded around 4 a.m., the student asked for a ride. En route, she reportedly identified herself as a "sugar baby" and expressed her desire to find a "sugar daddy," asking him to assist her in this search. This statement appears crucial as it may challenge the nature of their interaction and the subsequent allegations of assault.
The accused filed a First Information Report (FIR) on February 21, claiming that the student and a person who identified himself as Imran from a local news outlet demanded money from him and threatened to defame him when he refused. Authorities are taking both parties' claims seriously, and an investigation is underway to determine the validity of these allegations, reflecting a complex interplay of consent and reputation in sensitive sexual assault cases in India.
