Bodhan councillor arrested for sexually assaulting minor

The Nizamabad police on the night of Tuesday, August 6, arrested Kothapalli Radhakrishna, Bodhan Municipality third ward councillor, for sexually assaulting a girl. A case under POCSO case has been booked and the accused has been sent to judicial remand.

This is the second time the councillor has been arrested in a POCSO case.



Radhakrishna and his brother K Ravindar were arrested in June 2023 by the Bodhan police for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl.

According to the police, the minor girl was going to Nizamabad on Monday in an auto-rickshaw to buy medicines for her mother. On noticing her travelling alone, Radhakrishna offered to drop the girl and took him in his car.
