Rape convict released for ‘Good Behaviour’ after 7 years in prison, does the same crime again
The accused has been identified as Rakesh Verma (35), a resident of Krishna Nagar area, Satna.
In a heart-wrenching incident from Madhya Pradesh, a minor girl was raped on Wednesday evening by a man who was a rape convict and was released by the authorities after 7 years in prison because of ‘good behaviour’, a police official said.
The accused, identified as Rakesh Verma (35), a resident of Krishna Nagar area, Satna, took the minor by caressing her and then raped her. The health condition of the minor is unfortunately critical and she has been referred to Rewa Medical College Hospital for further treatment.
According to City Superintendent of Police (CSP) Mahendra Singh Chouhan, 12 years ago, the accused Rakesh Verma had raped a minor girl who was around four and half years old in the district following which he was convicted and sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment. The accused was released by the authorities after seven years of imprisonment and the remaining three years of jail was pardoned because of his good behaviour in jail. He was released from the jail around 1-1.5 years ago. However, unfortunately, even the seven years in jail could not make him a better man and deter him from committing a crime, lest, the same crime again.
CSP Chouhan said, “The accused Rakesh Verma took the girl with him by caressing her from the Jagatdev Talab area in the district at around 5 pm on Wednesday. When we came to know about the matter, we searched for the minor and found that the accused had raped her.”
The minor was brought to the hospital and after primary treatment, she was referred to Rewa Medical College Hospital for further treatment. The police registered a case under relevant sections in the matter and arrested the accused. Further investigation into the matter is underway, says the Police. When asked about the bulldozer action on the properties of the accused, the CSP said that they would take all the necessary action into the matter.
