Brief Details of the Incident:
Chabathina Mounica(18) is the daughter of Vijay and is the resident of Mandavalli (Mandal), Krishna District. She is studying II Year B Tech in NIMRA Engineering College at Vijayawada. Mudraboyana Francis (23) s/o Subba Rao alias Sudharshanam is the resident of Ingilampakalanka, Mandavalli (M), Krishna Dist. Francis is studying IV Year B.Tech in Koneru Lakshmaiah Engineering College, Vijayawada. Francis parents and their relatives run many Churches. Mounica and Francis are friends for years together. In the year 2007, while Mounica was in 10th standard, Francis took her on his bike to his house at Ingilampakalanka and forcibly had sexual intercourse in his room on the first floor. Having heard the cries of Mounica, the parents and grandfather of Francis consoled her and requested her not to reveal to her parents and promised the marriage with Francis. On the pretext of marriage he sexually exploited her continuously and often used not to respond whenever Mounica insisted for marriage.
In November 2010, having come to know that Francis’s parents were looking for marriage alliance to him, Mounica asked his parents and they denied for the marriage saying she belongs to SC community and also are of lower financial status. Mounica informed the same to her parents. In the first week of Dec 2010 the parents of Mounica met the parents of Francis along with caste elders and asked for the marriage. The parents of Francis replied that having sexual relation is not a big matter at all, she belongs to a lower caste and therefore she doesn’t have the status for marrying their son. When the caste elders scolded them, they said that they will put the matter in prayer and requested for some time. As there was no reply from them, on 06/01/2011 the parents of Mounica arranged for mediation at mediator’s house, in which the caste elders and parents & relatives of Francis have participated. During this mediation, Francis accepted that he has sexually exploited Mounica, but has not accepted to marry her as she belongs to scheduled caste. The parents and the caste elders of Francis have said that they are prepared to give some money, but not marriage. The parents of Francis even abused the caste elders on the name of caste. In a helpless situation Mounica approached DSS and lodged a complaint. FIR was registered in Mandavalli P.S with Cr. No 4/2011, U/S 376,420, 417, 506 r/w 34 of IPC and Sec 3(1)(X) of SC/ST (PoA) Act 1989.
