Hyderabad, May 04: A 28-year-old woman working as a domestic help was arrested in Hyderabad’s Jubilee Hills for allegedly raping a 17-year-old boy living in the same servant quarters. The sex assault incident came to light after the boy’s mother, also a maid in the same house, filed a police complaint on Friday.

According to police, the accused, an unmarried woman, sexually assaulted the boy multiple times between March and April. The abuse was first noticed when the house manager saw the woman kissing the boy and informed his mother. When confronted, the woman claimed she saw the boy as a younger brother and kissed him out of affection. The mother reprimanded her and warned her against repeating such behaviour. However, after further questioning, the boy broke down and revealed that the woman had forced herself on him twice and threatened him with false accusations of theft if he disclosed the abuse. Bhopal College Rape-Blackmail Case: Main Accused Shot While Trying to Escape by Snatching Policeman’s Pistol.
