Child rapist let out of jail six months ago held for raping, murdering 9 year old girl

Mumbai: A child rapist who was let out of jail six months ago was arrested on Saturday for kidnapping, raping and murdering a nine-year old girl. He later dumped her body in a public toilet septic tank in Vile Parle (W).

Rapist Vadivel Devendra alias Gundapp Bhai (35) was convicted in 2013 for raping a five year old girl in the neighborhood and was released 2018 early for a good behavior.

Reportedly, the girl was missing since Thursday evening and the incident came to fore when police detained a CCTV footage from the area that showed the girl walking with the rapist. She went to buy tea from a nearby stall for her mother who was unwell. When she didn’t return for an hour, her father started searching for her.

Some locals told the police about the rapist and how he was convicted in a rape case earlier, the police got suspicious and later the CCTV footage confirmed the doubt.

In the CCTV footage, Devendra is seen talking to the girl who knew him as a neighbour. “Initially he claimed that he left the girl there and didn’t know what happened later. He was detained on Friday night and Saturday morning he confessed to the offence. He led us the spot where he had dumped the minor’s body,” said a Juhu police officer, adding that “We are questioning Devendra on how he lured the girl and where he committed the offence.” The victim is survived by her parents and a younger brother.

As news about his arrest spread, hundreds of residents gathered outside Juhu police station demanding strict action against the rapist.

Devendra has been booked under Indian Penal Code sections 201 (disappearance of evidence), 302 (murder), 363 (kidnap), 376 (rape) and under POCSO Act sections 4 (penetrative sexual assault), 8 (sexual assault) and 12 (sexual harassment).

Devendra is married to two women and has children, while his second wife is pregnant.
