Four youths allegedly forced themselves into a house in Wadi-e-Mustafa under the Pahadi Shareef police limits on Saturday night and raped the housewife in the absence of her husband.
According to the police, the victim, a native of Haryana and the wife of an auto-rickshaw driver, was staying at Wadi-e-Mustafa in the Pahadi Shareef police station jurisdiction along with her husband and four children. Taking advantage of her husband's absence in the house, the four accused, known to the complainant, knocked the door on Saturday night. When she opened the door, the men forced her into a room and raped her, with one of them sitting along with her children outside.
On Sunday morning the woman complained to the police about the crime, following which the police arrived. However, there was confusion between the Hyderabad and the Rachakonda police over the jurisdiction of the house where the offence was committed. After discussions for an hour, the Pahadi Shareef police registered a case and took up investigation.
The police sent the woman to a hospital for a medical examination and launched a manhunt for the absconding accused.
