Headline: Rowdy Sheeter Arrested for Rape in Rajahmundry, Allegedly Sheltered by YSRCP Leader
Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh – A shocking incident of sexual assault has come to light in Rajahmundry, involving a notorious rowdy sheeter with a history of criminal activity. Regulla Vinod, identified as the accused, allegedly kidnapped and raped a young college student on the night of the 15th.
According to sources, the victim, a young woman from Narasapuram studying in Kovvur, was at a park near Jail Road with a male friend when Vinod and his associate, Ganesh, accosted them while intoxicated. Vinod allegedly assaulted the male friend and forcibly took the girl to his residence where he committed the crime. The victim was released in the middle of the night and immediately reported the incident to the police.
A senior police official (DSP level) is reportedly leading the investigation. Vinod, who has a prior criminal record and was previously detained under the Preventive Detention (PD) Act, had been recently released from jail.
Adding a controversial layer to the case, sources indicate that a local YSRCP (Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party) woman leader is alleged to have provided shelter to the accused. This connection is likely to spark political controversy and intensify scrutiny of the case. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are awaited as the police gather evidence and interrogate those involved.
