HYDERABAD: A 60-year-old Bahrain national was arrested for allegedly sexually exploiting a 25-year-old woman, a divorcee, from the city. Chandrayangutta police also arrested a salesman from Barkas in the case.
Police arrested Ebrahim Shukralla Mohamed Bairami, 60, a retired nurse from Bahrain, and Salam Bin Sayed Bafanna, 30, a salesman from Salala, Barkas. Two other accused, Saber and his wife Sameena, also from Barkas, were absconding.
On March 1, police received a complaint from a 30-year-old woman from Amberpet, who is the elder sister of the survivor. She alleged that on February 25 afternoon one Md Saber alias Volta Saber called her to his house at Salala, Barkas to discuss about the sale of her house.
Around 3 pm, the complainant, who is a divorcee, went to Saber’s house along with her 25-year-old sister, also a divorcee, . “Saber introduced them to Ebrahim Shukurullah and asked them if any of them was willing to marry him. They rejected the proposal,” assistant commissioner of police (ACP), Falaknuma, Md Majeed said.
Subsequently, both the sisters returned to their house. Around 9.30pm, the complainant realised that her sister was not at home. “She thought that her sister might have gone to her in-law’s house to meet her son. However, as there was no communication from her till February 27 afternoon, the complainant went to Saber’s house and confronted him. Saber’s wife slapped her and snatched her phone. On February 29, Saber and his wife gave her sister’s address (at Salala) to the complainant,” the ACP said.
She went to the house and found Ebrahim there with her sister. “Ebrahim told me that Saber had sold my sister to him. My sister said that Saber’s wife took her to Ebrahim and the latter confined her in the room and sexually exploited her. He did not marry her. He also burnt her feet with cigarette. When I asked Ebrahim to come to the police station, he tried to escape with his luggage. I snatched his passport so that he can’t escape,” the complainant said.
Based on the complaint, police registered a rape case against Ebrahim, who arrived in Hyderabad on October 21, 2019. “Ebrahim wanted to marry Hyderabadi women through Saber. With the help of Saber and his wife, Ebrahim raped the victim,” the ACP said. Police arrested Ebrahim and Salam Bin Sayed, who provided him shelter at Salala. Saber and Sameena were absconding.
