Did MLA rape the students?

The case of Telugu Desam Party MLA from Kovvur T V Rama Rao is taking interesting turns day after the day.

Five Kerala girls, who deposed before Home Minister Sabita Indra Reddy, CID authorities and State Human Rights Commission on Saturday, did not mention anything about rape and murder by TVR. All that they said in their complaint was that TVR used to pass sexual overtures towards them and tried to molest one of them. They refused to undergo any medical examination, as there were no allegations of any rape.

However, on Sunday, the girls changed their version. In their memorandum to Governor N D Tiwari, they alleged that the MLA sexually abused them under coercion. If that is the case, the allegation of rape against the MLA will have to be proved; and the girls will have to undergo medical examination. If that happens and the guilt is proved, it will be tough for Rama Rao to get out of the case.
