Four men attempts rape on 20-year-old pub dancer
Hyderabad: Four men allegedly tried to rape a 20-year-old pub dancer at Narpally on the outskirts of the city, police said today.
The incident took place on Friday night and the woman lodged a complaint yesterday, police said.
On May 12, the victim, a married woman and a resident of Sithaphalmandi here, had called up a cab driver named Ravi, whom she previously knew, asking him to drop her at Uppal. He picked her up from her house, although three other men were already travelling in his cab, police said.
“Ravi told her that the trio was going to Srisailam and he would drop her at Uppal,” Ghatkesar Police Station Inspector B Prakash said.
“On the way, he bought beer and the woman consumed it.
Later, Ravi took the car near a college and forced her into having sex them, which she refused. Then, as she called up the police, Ravi threw her mobile phone and beat her up,” he said citing the complaint.
After she raised an alarm, the accused dropped her near Peerzadiguda near here before fleeing in the car. The woman was rescued by some local residents, Prakash said.
A case of sexual harassment and simple hurt was registered against the four accused, the officer said adding that efforts were on to nab the absconding accused.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
