Bengaluru: The Karnataka police arrested a New Delhi-based techie, who had allegedly raped his colleague, at a resort near the historic Hampi ruins in Bengaluru last year after spiking her drink.

The accused Rajakumara Sanvi, who hailed from Rajasthan, worked in a tech firm in New Delhi from where he was nabbed.

According to the police, Sanvi and his colleague Rohit Mangalikar (from Uttar Pradesh) had allegedly raped their colleague (from Kolkata) during a trip to Hampi in August 2015. Back then all the three were working in a a same IT firm in Hyderabad.

The girl had lodged a complaint with the Hyderabad police, who transferred the case to Karnataka police because the crime had taken place in their jurisdiction.

Later on, Rohit found a job in Bengaluru and Sanvi moved to New Delhi. The police, who tracked the accused based on the information provided by their colleagues, nabbed Rohit in January from Bengaluru. But they were unable to trace Sanvi. Eventually, the police managed to find Sanvi.

Now, both Sanvi and Rohith are behind the bars in Koppala district, Karnataka.
