In a controversial turn in a high-profile case from Bengaluru, one of the accused in an alleged gang-rape incident has claimed that the complainant attempted to extort money and had been seeking a “sugar daddy” arrangement. The statement, made during police questioning and legal proceedings, has added another layer of complexity to an already sensitive investigation.
The Allegations
The case came to light after a woman filed a complaint alleging sexual assault by multiple individuals. Law enforcement authorities registered a case and initiated an investigation under relevant sections of criminal law. Medical examinations, digital evidence, and witness statements are reportedly being reviewed as part of the probe.
During questioning, one of the accused denied the assault charges and alleged that the complainant had demanded money, claiming the interaction was consensual. He further alleged that when financial demands were not met, the complaint was filed.
Investigation Underway
Police officials have emphasized that all claims and counterclaims are being thoroughly examined. Authorities are scrutinizing call records, chat histories, financial transactions, and other digital footprints to establish the sequence of events.
Legal experts note that such counter-allegations are not uncommon in cases involving serious criminal charges, but stress that conclusions can only be drawn after a comprehensive and impartial investigation.
Legal Process and Public Sensitivity
Given the gravity of the accusations, the matter remains under active investigation. Officials have urged the public and media to avoid speculation and allow due process to take its course.
The case highlights the importance of careful legal scrutiny, sensitivity toward complainants, and the need for evidence-based conclusions in cases involving serious allegations.
Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
