😢 Despite strict laws like Nirbhaya, sexual assault incidents continue to occur, with women and children often becoming victims. A recent incident in Hyderabad has raised concerns again, where an assistant director lured a young software engineer with false promises of a movie role and committed a heinous crime.
Siddharth Varma, a 30-year-old assistant director living in Kondapur Raghavendra Colony and originally from Vizag, is accused of committing the crime. He met the victim, an IT professional from Anantapur working in Hyderabad’s IT corridor, through a mutual acquaintance. Siddharth gained her trust by promising her a chance in the film industry.
One day, Siddharth invited the young woman to his home for dinner, claiming it was a friendly gesture. Once there, he spiked her drink with sedatives and assaulted her. Shockingly, Siddharth repeated this crime multiple times under the guise of helping her career.
Distressed by these incidents, the young woman filed a complaint against Siddharth Varma with the Gachibowli police. The police registered a case and promptly arrested Siddharth, who has now been remanded in custody.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the ongoing safety issues women face and highlights the need for vigilance and stricter enforcement of laws to prevent such atrocities. 🚨
