Sex scandal in ashram: investigating officers trying to find out who helped girl escape, approach police

The Visakhapatnam and the Vijayawada Disha Mahila Police, probing the alleged sexual abuse of a minor girl in an ashram in Venkojipalem, are trying to find out who helped the victim escape from the ashram and approach the police in Vijayawada.

The investigating officers are also checking why the Kankipadu police of Krishna district did not register a case when the victim walked into the station and lodged a complaint.

The 14-year-old orphan, who was staying in Gnananda, Ramananda Sadhu Matam at Venkojipalem in Visakhapatnam, escaped on June 13 and boarded a train to Rajamahendravaram the same day. She later came to Vijayawada and lodged a complaint with the Kankipadu police.
