The 23-year-old Army man was identified as Kumar, son of Perumal from Vellayammalpuram near Chinnamanur in the district. He forcibly took the Class 10 girl to a grove on the outskirts of the village and raped her. He had also threatened the girl not to reveal it to anyone. But when her parents noticed the girl behaving in an unusual manner, they inquired and learned about the incident.
Police have also arrested a friend of Kumar's for colluding with him and have launched a hunt for another person for protecting him. They also said that the girl has emerged from the shock. "The girl would be taken for a medical test on Monday," said a police officer. Praveen, who joined the Army four years back and was serving in Punjab, had come to his native a week back. He started wooing the girl from the same locality but she did not reciprocate. On Friday evening, he saw the girl returning from school on the outskirts of the village. "He forcibly took her into a grove there and raped her. Kumar then promised that he would marry her and threatened not to reveal about the incident to anyone," police said.
But when she returned home, her parents found out that the girl was behaving in an unusual manner and was seen depressed. "When questioned she broke down and narrated the incident," police said. The shocked parents lodged a complaint against Kumar on Saturday. Kumar was arrested and produced before the judicial magistrate court in Uthamapalayam. His friend Marisan was also arrested while another friend identified as Siva is on the run.
