Mysuru: The investigation into the Mysuru gang rape case revealed the shocking modes of operandi of the culprits who are reported to have confessed that it was the silence of their previous victims that encouraged them to continue crimes like molestation and extortion.
The Mysuru police had arrested five of the six accused in gang-rape of an MBA student within four days after the atrocious incident.
The accused dragged the college-going girl while she was with her male friend to an isolated place near the Chamundi foothills. They attacked her friend and demanded a ransom of Rs 3 lakh.
The victim, who came to study from Maharashtra, has not recorded her statement as she still continues to be in mental trauma.
The police have produced the accused before the court and have taken them into custody. Their medical tests have also been conducted. The accused have told police that they presumed Mysuru to be the safest city to commit crimes as none of their victims dared to lodge a police complaint.
Sources said the accused have confessed to the investigating team that they thought this gang-rape case victim would also not lodge a police complaint. The gang-rape accused has confessed to having committed many cases of road robberies and molestations in Mysuru.
Police sources said, one of the accused rapists was jailed for murdering the father of a girl he loved in Tamil Nadu. Another accused turned psycho after being dumped by three of his girlfriends and indulged in molestation and sexual assaults on gullible women and girls all through.
Meanwhile, the parents of a few accused persons in Tamil Nadu were not found to have any clue on the crime their sons had committed.
The investigating team is expected to take the accused rapists to the scene of the crime to conduct a spot investigation on Monday. Further investigation is on.
