Hyderabad: A 14-year-old minor girl was raped by her neighbour on Thursday, Medipally inspector P. Saidulu said on Friday. Police said the accused, Balaraju, 24, had been stalking the victim on her way to school and back, claiming that he wanted to marry her. On Thursday morning, he lured her to his friend's house, allegedly raped her, and threatened her against informing anyone about the incident.
The school noticed that the girl had not turned up, and notified her parents. After
